Get a grip: Variation in human hand grip strength and implications for human evolution

Résumé

Although hand grip strength is critical to the daily lives of humans and our arboreal great ape relatives, the human hand has changed in form and function throughout our evolution due to terrestrial bipedalism, tool use, and directional asymmetry (DA) such as handedness. Here we investigate how hand form and function interact in modern humans to gain insight into our evolutionary past. We measured grip strength in a heterogeneous, cross-sectional sample of human 23 participants (n=662, 17 to 83 years old), to test the potential effects of age, sex, asymmetry (hand 24
