title: Handedness data on the European neolithic.
abstract: An analysis of grinding striations on neolithic bone and antler implements yielded a regional variation of the percentage of left-handed individuals in Southern Germany and Switzerland during the fourth millenium B.C. While the Swiss data show as little as 6.3% to have been left-handed, the Southern German data reveal three times as much.
