[Hand clasping--an overview].

Anthropologischer Anzeiger; Bericht uber die biologisch-anthropologische Literatur - 1 Jun 1999

Abstract excerpt

The literature concerning the asymmetry clasping hands is reviewed based on 192 studies. This paper describes the incidence, sex differences, age differences and genetical problems including twinning. The incidence of left hand clasping ranges from 30% to 75% (mean 43%). The review confirms the so-called east-west-gradient and there is a predominance of the left type in Europe. Age and sex differences are only...
