Talk:Nest-building in primates

prosimians build nests by instinct
What does the phrase "prosimians build nests by instinct" mean? Are the nests identical from day-to-day or do the prosimians learn how to construct better nests? I doubt very much that the Great apes learn to build nests only by observational learning - I would be amazed if there was not some instinctive component.__DrChrissy (talk) 20:05, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Not Animal Architecture?
The claim that orangutan nests are tool use rather than animal architecture is suspicious, as the two are not mutually exclusive. None of the cited sources include the phrase "animal architecture" or even "architecture" in the sense of external structures, so I have to assume the editor is inferring from mentions of tool use and his own belief that tool use precludes animal architecture.
