Not necessarily. A lot of famous artists are known to be both left and right handed. There is no record on whether or not most mathematicians are left or right handed.

Were there more right handed or left handed people on the Mormon trail?

There is no record of the 'handedness' of the Mormon pioneers, but we can assume that most were right handed simply because most people are right handed.


Left-handed people are considered more intelligentwhy?

The left side of the brain is thought to be in charge of logic and critical thinking. The right side is more closely associated with art and creativity. It is unlikely that there is any correlation between handedness and brain dominance.From a comedic point of view Left Handers are considered more 'sane' because they are 'in their right minds'.


Which hand do people prefer to use?

About 8 to 15% of people are lefthanded Right Handedness is more common. It is not a preference but genetic, people don't decide which hand is dominant. There are exeptions; * Mixed-handedness, also known as cross-dominance, is being able to do different tasks better with different hands. For example, mixed-handed persons might write better with their right hand but throw a ball more efficiently with their left hand. This could also refer to pianists, because different sections of pieces are usually composed to fit the abilities of the different hands, considering that the right hand is usually for melodies and the left-hand, harmonies. However, many writers refer to handedness as the hand that a person uses to write, so Mixed-handedness is often neglected. * Ambidexterity is exceptionally rare, although it can be learned. A true ambidextrous person is able to do any task equally well with either hand. Those who learn it still tend to sway towards their originally dominant hand.


Why people are left-handed or right-handed?

Handedness is determined when you begin learning to write. Which ever hand you use is your dominant hand. EDIT Handedness is determined by which hand is dominant in all activities, not just writing. I'm what's called mixed-handed (cross dominance). I favour my right hand to write with, my left hand to eat with, my right to serve and left to bat in tennis and badminton. I tie knots left-handed, knit and sew right-handed. Ambidexterity is a rare form of mixed-handedness, where both hands are equally dominant in most activities. For general purposes, people say you are right-handed when you write with your right hand, but the strength of your handedness can vary. Though I write with my right hand, I am considered moderately left-handed. I'm not strong in either direction, but tend towards left. Look at the way you do activities like sports and eating and also DIY work. If your right hand is continually dominant, you are right-handed. If your left hand is dominant, you are left-handed. If both are equal, you are ambidextrous, and if neither are completely dominant, you are mixed-handed.


Are mostly girls left handed?

It is widely believed that there are slightly more left-handed boys, with normally about 5 boys for every 4 left-handed girls. A study of 3,000 schoolchildren in London recorded an even higher percentage of boys (11.6%) than girls (8.6%). Some research has linked left-handedness to the level of testosterone present in the womb before birth, which may explain the imbalance. Another suggestion - that girls tend to be more receptive to social mores and eager to conform, so may change to the hand of their peers - seems very unlikely, as we now know that handedness is not a matter of choice, but part of our physiological makeup.


Are there more right handed people then left handed people?

Most humans are right handed but this may be as a result of centuries of disapproval of left handedness and therefore children were forced to be right handed in case they were accused of being odd or 'of the dark side'. The word sinister means to be on the left in heraldic language. In France a sinistre is a fire started deliberately. It has dark connotations whereas to be dextrous or have dexterity is to be on the right and be quick handed. Left handedness is inherited and along with red hair may be a genetic trait of Neanderthal man.This is of interest but not proven to be true.

Why was left handedness considered a weakness in biblical times?

It might have been because only 10% of the people were left handed and they thought of safety in numbers back then and most people still think that having a group is more safe then being alone so I could see how without as much education as we have now they could think that left handers was a weekness.
