Human handedness, a marker for language lateralization in the brain, continues to attract
great research interest. A widely reported but not universal finding is a greater male …

Considerable research supports the high frequency of right-handedness in living Homo
sapiens, with worldwide rates of approximately nine right-for every one left-hander. Right …

The main way of gaining insight into the behaviour and neurological faculties of our early
ancestors is to study artefactual evidence for the making and use of tools, but this places …

The literature of stone tool procurement and technology published in the past decade is
reviewed in this article. The presentation attempts to be geographically comprehensive but …

Handedness is measured in a variety of ways, which are either preference based or
performance based (McManus 1996). Skill and preference tend to be highly correlated …

The past decade has witnessed the (re) emergence of a debate as to whether handedness
is apomorphic within hominins. There are both qualitative and quantitative arguments, some …

The presumed link between bilateral asymmetry and lateralized habitual activity in extinct
hominins is the basis upon which inferences of 'hand preference'often derive. While this …

Labial striations on the anterior teeth have been documented in numerous European pre-
Neandertal and Neandertal fossils and serve as evidence for handedness. OH-65, dated at …

The hypothesis that functional adaptation of joint surfaces to mechanical loading occurs
primarily through change in mass, density, and structure of subarticular trabeculae (the …

The question of manual laterality in extinct hominins has long interested archeologists and
paleoanthropologists. It is possible to approach this question using the fossil and …
