perceiving and synthesizing nonverbal information... Overallanatomical<br />

asymmetries center on the language areasand it. is tempting to speculate<br />

that they evolved to subserve. language.Moreoverthese asymmetries are<br />

present in preterm. infantswhich seems to support the proposition that<br />

language is innate. in humans.. With all the emphasis on finding<br />

anatomical asymmetries that can be. asso ciated with languageresearch<br />

asymmetries related to languagethen. the right hemi sphere must have<br />

specialized for some other. function.After allthe two hemi spheres are<br />

quite similar in size and. other symmetriesit is not as though language<br />

areas evolved on the. left and nothing happened on the right..<br />
