There's no real way to hoard "wealth" as a monkey. Fruit rots. There's no way to invest in such a society, since they don't understand the concept of growing food. That's why they live in family groups to control territory.
Humans lived similarly for hundreds of thousands of years. Calling the basic exchange of tokens "capitalism" isn't accurate. It's like calling a tribal society "communism" because people take care of their relatives for free. It's not accurate.
How are hunter gatherer societies not communism? They live in communes and they collectively share everything.
I don't recall the mention of fruit. Rather, currency was used.
