Information about lateralization in humans is also available from the post-cranial skeleton, particularly the arm bones, in which differences in size and shape are related to hand\/arm preference. Our objective here is to characterize the possible correlations between the endocranial and post-cranial asymmetries of an archaeological sample. This, in turn, will allow us to try to identify and interpret prospective functional traits in the archaeological and fossil records. We observe that directional asymmetry (DA) is present both for some endocranial and humeral traits because of brain lateralization and lateralized behaviors, while patterns of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) vary. The combined study of these anatomical elements and of their asymmetries can shed light on the ways in which the body responds to dependent asymmetrical stimuli across biologically independent anatomical areas. Variations in FA are, in this context, indicators of differences in answers to lateralized factors. Humeri tend to show a much larger range of variation than the endocast. We show that important but complex information may be extracted from the combined study of the endocast and the arms in an archaeological sample of Homo sapiens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym12030432","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,9]],"date-time":"2020-03-09T05:37:34Z","timestamp":1583732254000},"page":"432","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Variation and Correlations in Departures from Symmetry of Brain Torque, Humeral Morphology and Handedness in an Archaeological Sample of Homo sapiens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4226-611X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antoine","family":"Balzeau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PaleoFED team, UMR 7194, CNRS, D\u00e9partement Homme et Environnement, Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019Histoire naturelle, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Homme, 17, Place du Trocad\u00e9ro, 75016 Paris, France"},{"name":"Department of African Zoology, Royal Museum for Central Africa, 3080 Tervuren, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2652-764X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lou","family":"Ball-Albessard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PaleoFED team, UMR 7194, CNRS, D\u00e9partement Homme et Environnement, Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019Histoire naturelle, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Homme, 17, Place du Trocad\u00e9ro, 75016 Paris, France"},{"name":"PalaeoHub, Department of Archaeology, University of York, Wentworth Way, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7844-9225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna Maria","family":"Kubicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PaleoFED team, UMR 7194, CNRS, D\u00e9partement Homme et Environnement, Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019Histoire naturelle, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Homme, 17, Place du Trocad\u00e9ro, 75016 Paris, France"},{"name":"Department of Zoology, Pozna\u0144 University of Life Sciences, Wojska Polskiego 71C, 60-625 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/ajpa.1330930102","article-title":"Post-cranial robusticity in Homo II: Humeral bilateral asymmetry and bone plasticity","volume":"93","author":"Trinkaus","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am.
