A gene-culture model of human handedness.

Behavior genetics - 1 Sept 1995

Laland K N, Kumm J, Van Horn J D, Feldman M W

Abstract excerpt

A model of handedness incorporating both genetic and cultural processes is proposed, based on an evolutionary analysis, and maximum-likelihood estimates of its parameters are generated. This model has the characteristics that (i) no genetic variation underlies variation in handedness, and (ii) variation in handedness among humans is the result of a combination of cultural and developmental factors, but (iii) a...
