Why Your Brain Has 2 Halves

The human brain evolved to have two halves — and a new review of previous research suggests that this dual design may confer special benefits.
Scientists have long known that the differnt halves of human brains perform different functions. For example, the left half — or left hemisphere — is generally responsible for language and speech, whereas the right one generally handles emotions and facial recognition. (This division of functions is real, and is separate from the popular, but wrong, notion that people who are logical or analytical are "left brained" while those who are creative or artistic are "right brained.")
