Lauren Julius Harris, Douglas F. Carlson,

Primate Behavior and Ecology

As the collection of new research reports in this volume shows, the question of handedness in non-human primates has become a subject of intense interest among psychologists and primatologists. The historical evidence also shows that this interest is of long standing (see Harris, Ch. 1, this volume). Still, the question remains controversial. There is a measure of agreement that individual animals show reliable hand preference but no consensus that this is a species characteristic.
