The Importance of Being Men
Around 135,000 German soldiers captured by the Allies in North Africa in May 1943 were subsequently brought to the United States and interned there until 1946. These men, which included the members of the famous German Afrika-Korps, were widely regarded and admired as elite masculine soldiers by contemporary Americans and are still often portrayed in this way in academic and popular publications. This article argues that the German prisoners used…
The genetics of hand-clasping a review and a familial study
Hand-clasping refers to the preferential tendency for individuals to clasp the hands together. This paper reviews the previous literature on family data and twins, and reports new data. In this study about 55% of the population are left-hand-claspers, 44% are right-hand-claspers, and the remaining 1% report that they have no preference or are indifferent. Familial data suggest that hand-clasping may be under genetic control: although the data do …
Hand-clasping - a review
Genetic associations between lateral signs
Only a few authors examined several lateral asymmetries in families simultaneously. Seven lateralities (handedness, footedness, eyedness, earedness, hand clasping, arm folding and leg crossing) were examined in a sample of 292 biologically related parent-offspring triads and 36 sibling pairs. Analysis of the family data showed a significant association between parents and children in most lateralities. The frequency of left-sidedness increased wi…

A study of leg-crossing in a German sample
When a person is asked to cross their flexed legs then one thigh crossed over the other. This paper reviews the previous literature on leg crossing, and reports new data. In this study about 62% of the population (n = 292) are right leg-crossers, 26% are left leg-crossers, and the remaining 12% report that they have no preference or are indifferent. The incidence of left leg-crossing differs between the sexes, being higher in males, although ther…
