The strong predominance of right-handedness appears to be a uniquely human
characteristic, whereas the left-cerebral dominance for vocalization occurs in many species …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Abstract PF MacNeilage, MG Studdert-Kennedy, and B. Lindblom (1987) proposed a
progression for handedness in primates that was supposed to account for the evolution of a …

This study examined hand preference in baboons in a sample of 94 subjects for a
unimanual task and in a sample of 104 subjects for a bimanual task. For the unimanual task …

Several recent papers have been critical at a theoretical and empirical level of the evidence
of population-level right-handedness in chimpanzees and other great apes. For example …

Humans are mainly right-handed for many actions including gestures. This bias is strongly
linked to a left cerebral hemispheric dominance for language functions. Whether similar …

Three experiments on grip morphology and hand use were conducted in a sample of
chimpanzees. In Experiment 1, grip morphology when gras** food items was recorded …

This study investigates prehension in 20 tufted capuchins (Cebus apella) in a reaching task
requiring individuals to grasp a small food item fixed to a tray. The aim was twofold: 1) to …
