Evolutionary biology explains human eye dominance and brain lateralization

Humans exhibit eye dominance, with about two-thirds favoring their right eye, a trait rooted in evolutionary brain lateralization. This asymmetry allows for specialized processing between brain hemispheres, enhancing efficiency and preventing conflicting neural signals. Research indicates that dominant eye preference correlates with the speed and direction of information transfer between hemispheres, a pattern observed across various vertebrate species and predating primate evolution.
