• Laterality in the wild: preferential hemifield use during predatory and sexual behaviour in the black-winged stilt (2005, background): “…are presently controversies concerning the presence and nature of handedness in nonhuman primates in natural conditions (cf. McGrew & Marchant 1997; Hopkins 1999) making handedness a poor behavioural model of the phenomenon of cerebral lateralization (which has been recorded in nonhuman primates…”
• The Evolution of Thought: The manual skills and cognition that lie behind hominid tool use (2004, methodology): “Assessment of whether population right-handedness occurs depends on which statistical methods are considered adequate (Hopkins, 1999; McGrew & Marchant, 1991), but on current evidence there is no sign of this distinctively human trait in wild chimpanzees (McGrew & Marchant, 1996).”
