he human brain has two physically-similar hemispheres that specialise in different functions. The best described asymmetry to date is that favouring speech and language. Despite the importance of language in understanding our species’ place in the animal kingdom, surprisingly little is known about what aspects of language are the most asymmetric and what functional benefit this asymmetry confers to individuals who have it. This chapter summarizes what is now known and not known about language laterality and its moderators, how the field got to where it is now, and where it might go from here.
