Transmission of human handedness: a reanalysis

2025-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Human handedness results from the interplay of genetic and cultural influences. A gene-culture co-evolutionary model for handedness was introduced by Laland et al. (1995), and the present study generalizes that model and the related analysis. We address ambiguities in the original methodology, particularly regarding maximum likelihood estimation, and incorporate sex differences in cultural transmission. By fitting...
