There is considerable debate about whether population-level asymmetries in limb
preferences are uniquely human or are a common feature among vertebrates. In the present …

Once considered a uniquely human attribute, brain asymmetry has been proved to be
ubiquitous among non‐human animals. A synthetic review of evidence of animal …

The question addressed by this volume is how human beings have evolved as creatures
who can make and use more complex tools, communicate in more complex ways, and …

The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest in laterality of function in primates,
especially in hand use as it links to handedness and language in Homo sapiens. Manual …

Variability in the functional topography of area 4 was examined in adult squirrel monkeys.
Conventional intracortical microstimulation techniques were used to derive detailed maps …

Hand preferences of primates are discussed as part of the broad perspective of brain
lateralization in animals, and compared with paw preferences in non-primates. Previously, it …

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 …

Population-level right-handedness is a defining characteristic of humans. Despite extensive
research, we still do not know the conditions or timing of its emergence in human evolution …

Right‐handedness in Homo sapiens is claimed to be qualitatively different from that of other
primates, at species level, and to be universal across all cultures. Ethnographic indicators …

Hand preference for a coordinated bimanual task was assessed in a sample of 110
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Subjects were presented with opaque tubes, the inside of …
