Bloody men, and dolphins

But something is eating into me: In all the cases of animal invention I know there is no case where the invention is made by high status males, and yet I have not seen any scientific comment on it? Have we become as cultures so enraptured by the ideas of the strong man solving all the problems, that all evidence to the contrary is being swept under the carpet?

I don't know about the high-status males question, but I've been reading a book on the brain (in response to the free will debate thread) and learned that while many animals use tools, they don't generalize from one tool to tools for other purposes.
