DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2021.105417
Abstract: Studying hand preferences in chimpanzees can provide insights into the evolutionary origins of human hemispheric specialization. Research on chimpanzee hand preference requires careful examination of important factors such as between-task consistency, temporal stability and posture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2019.103911
Abstract: Longitudinal research on manual preferences in humans and non-human primates has mainly been conducted from a developmental perspective, with only a few studies exploring long-term stability of this trait during adulthood. Therefore, we investigated short-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2020.105293
Abstract: BACKGROUND Right-hand preference is related to stronger right-directional asymmetry in the length of proximal upper-limb bones, although the relationships of hand preference with directional asymmetry in phalangeal bone lengths are not known. Furthermore, dorsal digit… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42515-0
Abstract: Hand preference is a prominent behavioural trait linked to human brain asymmetry. A handful of genetic variants have been reported to associate with hand preference or quantitative measures related to it. Most of these reports… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1357650x.2021.1990313
Abstract: ABSTRACT The current research compared hand selection in a preferential reaching paradigm with unimanual (i.e., pick-up cup) and bimanual (pick-up cup and pour from pitcher) tasks. In addition, relationships between self-report, questionnaire-based hand preference (unimanual… read more here.

DOI: 10.12688/wellcomeopenres.15077.1
Abstract: Weak or inconsistent hand preference may be a risk factor for developmental language delay. This study will test the extent to which variations in language skills are associated with the strength of hand preference. Data… read more here.

Asymmetries in mother-infant behaviour in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.4736
Abstract: Asymmetries in the maternal behaviour and anatomy might play an important role in the development of primate manual lateralization. In particular, early life asymmetries in mother’s and infant’s behaviour have been suggested to be associated… read more here.
