Parental and perinatal factors influencing the development of handedness in captive chimpanzees.

Developmental psychobiology - 1 Sept 2006

Hopkins William D, Wesley Michael J, Russell Jamie L, Schapiro Steven J

Abstract excerpt

It has been proposed that human right handedness is determined by genetic factors associated with the emergence of language, whereas non-human primate handedness is determined by random, non-genetic factors. These different mechanisms account for differences in the distribution of handedness between human and non-human primates. Here we report evidence that genetic factors play a role in the determination of...
