Within the evolutionary framework about the origin of human handedness and hemispheric
specialization for language, the question of expression of population‐level manual biases in …

Marine mammals and humans have the strongest manifestations of what is apparently a
vertebrate-wide tendency toward a rightward action asymmetry associated with routine …

Background The origin of human handedness and its evolution in primates is presently
under debate. Current hypotheses suggest that body posture (postural origin hypothesis and …

В монографии приводится обзор современных данных о распространении и
особенностях проявления латерализации функций (асимметрии использования) …

The dominant use of one hand is a striking feature of humans, but manual lateralization can
be found in a variety of other species as well. In primates, the lateralization in hand use …

Background Acquisition of upright posture in evolution has been argued to facilitate manual
laterality in primates. Owing to the high variety of postural habits marsupials can serve as a …

We observed hand use in free-ranging aye-ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) on an
island in the Mananara River, eastern Madagascar. The results were compared with those of …

Background Factors determining patterns of laterality manifestation in mammals remain
unclear. In primates, the upright posture favours the expression of manual laterality across …

Postural conditions are known to affect hand use in many primate species. It remains to be
examined how posture and task differences modulate, or interact with, hand use in common …

In many primate species, bipedal stance is a factor increasing manual laterality. To
understand this phenomenon better, there is a need to investigate forelimb preferences in …
