title = "Handedness and Neuroanatomical Asymmetries in Captive Chimpanzees: A Summary of 15 Years of Research",
abstract = "For the past 15 years, we have conducted a series of studies examining the role of genetic and non-genetic factors on the development of handedness, motor skill asymmetries and other behavioral asymmetries in captive chimpanzees. This chapter summarizes the collective results of these studies. In addition, recent findings on neuroanatomical asymmetries are presented as well as associations between behavioral and brain asymmetries. Collectively, we argue for continuity in the evolution of behavioral and brain asymmetries between humans and chimpanzees.",
