Abstract
⺠Pointing at other's body is avoided in humans and impaired in heterotopagnosia. ⺠The communicative ability of the other person's body might be critical in pointing. ⺠Pointing at another person's body parts is slower than pointing at objects. ⺠Pointing at a manikin's body parts is comparable to pointing at objects. ⺠Left posterior parietal cortex processes the body of another person while pointing.
