   How many times a day do you grab objects such as a pencil or a cup? We perform these tasks without thinking, however the motor planning necessary to grasp an object is quite complex. For example, waiters will pick up an inverted glass with their thumb pointing down if they plan to pour water into the glass. Is this something that other animals, non-tool users, would do?
