Table 1 Bayesian regression model results for tests of average pad-to-side pinch strength for stroke count and time for task 1 and 2. The lower (L-95% CI) and upper (U-95% CI) credible intervals for the posterior distribution of slopes all overlap zero indicating non-significance.

From: Hafted technologies likely reduced stone tool-related selective pressures acting on the hominin hand
