Re: Handedness in Birds, Handedness in Dinos?



From: Richard W Travsky <rtravsky@uwyo.edu>

Big stretch: assuming the bird/dino link, what about handedness in >dinos?

This would probably only apply to theropods, what with having free
forelimbs.

Is there evidence, such as brain lateralization? More development on >one forelimb over the other? Perhaps wear or other signs of use on the >snout (indicating a preference for looking out one eye to guide the >mouth)?

Yeah, sure! Didn't _Troodon_ have opposable "thumbs"?! Err... :\
