Research shows that longer thumbs in primates are linked to larger brains, especially the neocortex, indicating that manual dexterity and brain evolution developed together, with implications for understanding human cognitive and motor development.
A study analyzing 94 primate species found that longer thumbs are associated with larger brains, particularly the neocortex, suggesting that manual dexterity may have driven brain growth in humans and other primates, with implications for understanding the evolution of intelligence and tool use.
Research indicates that in primates, longer thumbs are associated with larger brains, suggesting co-evolution of manual dexterity and brain development, with implications for understanding human evolution and tool use.
