Spontaneous hand usage and handedness in a troop of baboons

Vauclair, J., & Joel Fagot. (1987). Spontaneous Hand Usage and Handedness in a Troop of Baboons. Cortex, 23, 265–274.    Abstract -Hand usage was studied in a troop of 18 Guinea baboons (10 adults and 8 young) for spontaneous activities. Handedness was determined by an analysis of unimanual activities and bimanual asymmetric activities. The distribution […]
