Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has
traditionally been considered unique to humans. However, research
has shown that this phenomenon is widespread throughout the
vertebrate kingdom and found even in some invertebrate species. A
similar basic plan of organisation exists across vertebrates.
Summarising the evidence and highlighting research from the last
twenty years, the authors discuss lateralization from four
perspectives - function, evolution, development and causation -
covering a wide range of animals, including humans. The evolution
of lateralization is traced from our earliest ancestors, through
fish and reptiles to birds and mammals. The benefits of having a
divided brain are discussed, as well as the influence of experience
on its development. A final chapter discusses outstanding problems
and areas for further investigation. Experts in this field, the
authors present the latest scientific knowledge clearly and
engagingly, making this a valuable tool for anyone interested in
the biology and behaviour of brain asymmetries.
