Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The researchers hypothesize that most marmosets become left-handed because they imitate their parents as babies. Why? Because infant marmosets are known to imitate frequently.

Notable Assumptions

The researchers assume there’s no alternative or additional explanation accounting for the prevalence of left-handedness among marmosets. In particular, they assume baby marmosets tend to imitate their parents, and that genetic factors don’t determine a marmoset’s handedness.
