Division of Labor: A Democratic Approach to Understanding Manual Asymmetries in Non-Human Primates

2014-11-29

Abstract excerpt

A consequence of the ‘gold rush’ like hunch for human-like handedness in non-human primates has been that researchers have been continually analyzing observations at the level of the population, ignoring the analysis at the level of an individual and, consequently, have potentially missed revelations on the forms and functions of manual asymmetries. Recently, consecutive studies on manual asymmetries in bonnet mac...
