Fast and accurate throwing was undoubtedly important to ancestral hominids,
and was subject to sexual-selection pressures that generated a male advantage
in throwing accuracy that persists in modern humans. The balance of evidence,
including that from a recent comparative study of throwing in humans and capuchin
monkeys, suggests that high-performance throwing involves unique adaptations
in the domains of spatial targeting, precision timing, and multi-joint motor
control.
