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.
