文摘The effect of the rotation of the earth, this non-inertial system, has beenneglected in the theories of evolution. In this article, we put forward the hypothesis thatthe Coriolis force due to the rotation of the earth is the primary cause of the right-leftasymmetry of body structures of the vertebrate. Theoretical deductions were made andcompared with available observations. Generally we found no contradiction. Afterwardsways for further validation are discussed.
