Birth order and left-handedness revisited: some recent findings in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes) and their implications for developmental and evolutionary models of human handedness

description This paper examines the relationship between parity, pregnancy outcome, and handedness in a sample of captive chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes). The relation between parity, maternal age and positive or negative pregnancy outcome was assessed from life history data for 536 chimpanzees housed at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center. The incidences of negative pregnancy outcome (notably spontaneous abortions and stillbirths) were significantly higher in parities of 8 or higher compared to all other parities. In a sub-sample of 165 chimpanzees, the relation between parity, maternal age and handedness was assessed to determine whether left handedness may serve as a marker of prenatal pathology. These analyses indicated that left-handedness was more prevalent in 1st and 8 or higher parities compared to parities between 2 and 7, respectively. Possible prenatal hormonal and periparturitional factors are discussed as possible mechanisms for the observed findings.
