On a slight tangent just to add another speculative datapoint to the language and embodiment discussion. It's quite possible the right hemisphere of the brain is subservient to the left hemisphere because the language center of the brain resides in the left hemisphere. There's some evidence that the left and right hemispheres are independent actors merely coordinating with each other via the corpus callosum [1]. In such a dynamic, it's likely that the left and right hemispheres start off as equals and play a tug of war of sorts, but eventually the right lets the left lead since the left is better able able to influence the "real physical world" because of language. Language gets you help, food (energy), sex etc. So the language center may not be constrained by embodiment but it might be optimized towards getting the most out of physical reality first?

Just a high probability as far as I'm aware.
