		Capuchin monkeys are specialized in the exploitation of both plant and animal foods of high energetic value, which they achieve through strength, skill, and the destruction of palm fronds (Freese and Oppenheimer, 1981; Izawa, 1978, 1990; Izawa and Muzino, 1977).
		For male capuchins, particularly alpha males, food sharing might be a paternal investment strategy; that is, when females and juveniles receive food from a male, this may benefit this male’s progeny either directly or through the mother.
		Given the obvious richness of capuchin social life, it is quite possible that these monkeys reciprocally exchange a wide range of “currencies,” from allonursing to agonistic alliances, and from food sharing to coordinated hunting.

		In 1574 Gregory XIII revoked the decree of Paul III, and granted Capuchins the right to establish ultramontane provinces; and in 1619 the reform was released from all dependence upon the Conventuals, and given a minister general of its own election.
