Seems like while on average a human can be expected to "naturally" throw better than a monkey, most monkeys are perfectly capable of learning to throw with skill comparable to a human.
Sources:
did you read your sources? "The researchers found no evidence for “aimed throwing."
I'm not sure how you're getting that impression. The quote you put there doesn't show up in the paper even once, and in fact if you search for "aimed throwing" you'll see several instances where they discuss the aimed throwing accuracy of the monkeys. Even in just the abstract there's a few places where they make it clear the monkeys are aiming (and additionally that's what they were measuring).
In fact, they go so far as to clearly state that the monkey throwing is a suitable model of human throwing, meaning that the way they throw is similar enough to us that we can actually learn about ourselves from it.
Anyway, that's all the time I'm gonna spend on this mythbusting lol.
I made a humourous claim that seemed logical, and when some goof decided to claim I'm wrong, you swooped in with facts.
You're my favourite.
I copy and pasted the quote. It's from the second source
I wanna see Curious George lining up under center for an NFL team now.
