About This Item
Oxford New York Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. As New/Very Good. 8vo - over 7. Oxford University Press, 1991. First Edition Hardcover Book As New with a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Light brown half-cloth w/gilt titles, copper paper wrapped boards, spotless, tight & solid, square binding, internals also as new. The author explores the great evolutionary distance between humans and apes--and finds the mystery revealed in our right-hands, for humans are the only primates who are predominantly right-handed, a sign of our specialization of the left hemisphere of the brain for language development. He takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the origins and implications of the specialization of the two halves of the brain, known as laterality, in human evolution. 366 pages with References and Index. 6.25 x 9.5 inches. 1991, Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York, Toronto.
