Is imitational learning a driving factor for the population bias in human hand preference? Open
Lateral preference is a widespread organizational principle in human and nonhuman animals. In humans, the most apparent lateralized trait (handedness) is unique in the animal kingdom because of a very pronounced bias towards right-handedne…

Testing the Darwinian function of lateralization. Does separation of workload between brain hemispheres increase cognitive performance? Open
Brain lateralization is a fundamental aspect of the organization of brain and behavior in the animal kingdom, begging the question about its Darwinian function. We tested the possibility that lateralization enhances cognitive performance i…

Does hand skill asymmetry relate to creativity, developmental and health issues and aggression as markers of fitness? Open
A remarkable feature of human handedness at the population level is specialization of the hands, the right hand performing usually better than the left. This specialization might have an evolutionary advantage, because it provides the indi…
