Right-handedness is overwhelmingly prevalent in humans. Among studies of laterality in nonhuman primates, William C. McGrew and colleagues' 1999 study of wild chimpanzees reported no tendency toward right-handedness, while Mara Aruguete and colleagues' 1992 study of captive chimpanzees and squirrel monkeys did. However, the latter study included only 27 individuals, and a meta-analysis of primate-laterality studies demonstrated that a minimum sample size of 176 individuals is required to be confident that a finding of population-level handedness is not mere statistical noise. The claim of right handedness in the 1992 study should therefore be treated skeptically given that Which choice most logically completes the text?
