Although this is paper takes many different approaches of laterality into account, we emphasize that the eco-evolutionary approach needs more attention. This concerns the question why organisms are lateralized in the first place, in other words, how does lateralization enhance the Darwinian fitness of the individual. We argue that laterality can be distinguished along four dimensions, and that each of them requires different ultimate explanations. Studying these functional and evolutionary explanations requires the development of ecologically relevant tests, adapted to the species at hand. It also requires experimental manipulation of laterality, testing the effect in (semi)-natural conditions on fitness parameters. Tools for such manipulation of laterality urgently require a better understanding of the developmental plasticity of lateralization, extending the field of evo-devo to that of eco-evo-devo. We also warn against seeing the minority in the distribution of direction or strength of lateralization as being a pathology as such minorities in biology can often be explained as adaptations by natural frequency dependent selection.</p>","PeriodicalId":47387,"journal":{"name":"Laterality","volume":"26 3","pages":"342-347"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1357650X.2021.1909610","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25602678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These founding editors pointed out in their editorial how surprisingly long it took to have a journal devoted entirely to laterality, its unanswered questions and wide-ranging problems. They mentioned leftright asymmetries inside sub-atomic structures, the pharmacology of chiral molecules, anatomical asymmetries of the viscera, Broca’s discovery of the left-brain dominance in language production, and the relation of these to handedness and other lateralised functions. In the first issue of Laterality, the founding editors published a figure illustrating the rapid growth of publications indexed broadly under the heading “laterality” since 1960. Although – as predicted by the founding editors – Experimental Psychology predominated in Laterality, researchers from other academic disciplines, such as Anthropology, Behavioural Biology, Clinical Neurology, Linguistics, Neurosciences, Psychiatry, Sport Sciences, and others were important contributors. Laterality research today explicitly includes findings from both human and non-human species (e.g., see Laterality Issues 1 and 2 published in 2021). Therefore, and unsurprisingly, a bibliometric analysis a quarter of a century after the first release of Laterality shows that the interest in laterality is still growing as indicated by the continuing rise in publication numbers in Laterality and other journals (Figure 1). The papers published in the first issue of Laterality investigated the relationship between handedness and eye-dominance (Bourassa, 1996), attempts to switch the writing hand (Porac, 1996), handedness in professional cricket players (Edwards & Beaton, 1996), and the magnitude of laterality effects and sex differences in functional asymmetries (Voyer, 1996), all topics still of interest today, as shown by recent papers published in Laterality on handedness (e.g., Bruckert, Thompson, Watkins, Bishop, & Woodhead, 2021; Papadatou-Pastou et al., 2021; Tzourio-Mazoyer, Labache, Zago, Hesling, & Mazoyer, 2021) and cognitive sex differences (e.g., Hirnstein, Hugdahl, & Hausmann, 2019).
