Is it true that right-handed people live longer than left-handed people?
Right-handed on people, on average, do live longer than Left-handed people. The primary reason for this being accidents with tools, which are predominantly designed for the right-handed, occurring more frequently with the left-hand dominant. This is especially true with power tools, or using tools in precarious positions, the top of a ladder being just one example.
How do you determine if someone is right or left handed without asking them?
For most people, the hand they write with is the hand that they use the most. So, if someone is left-handed, they probably write using their left hand. Similarly, they'd use their right hand to write if they are right-handed. The only real exceptions to this are people who are 'ambidextrous. These people can use either their left or their right hands and do not necessarily have a preference. But that's quite rare, to be honest.
What is the name of people who write with both hands?
Most people can only write with one hand. Those who are right-handed write with their right hand, and those who are left-handed write with their left hand. Those who can write just as well with one hand as the other are called ambidextrous, but this is not that common. It is most common in older people who went to school in the good old days of the cane. Back then if someone was lefthanded they were often forced to perform all their work righthandedly and with their natural lefthandedness became ambidextrous. Since the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, left-handed people have right side brain dominance, and right-handed people have left side brain dominance. Many left handed people perform other tasks right handed (kicking a ball or using scissors) so there is often no dominance. It does take a little practice but you can teach yourself to write with either hand.
Which hand is the best right or left?
There is NO best right or left hand. It is a question of genes and how they put together. 90% of the world population is right handed, and consequently tools and many other facets of everyday life are pitched towards right handed people. The of other 10% of the world is left handed, and I am oner of them. However there are degrees of chirality (handedness) . No one person is totally right handed or left handed. A normally right handed person may do something that is normally done by a left hander. and vice versa. I am 96% left handed. I write, kick, brush , bat, etc., as a left hander. However, occasionally I might have to use my right hand when using a screwdriver. The outward turn of the hand/arm is weaker than an inward turn. Also in your handedness, you may find one eye is stronger than the other, similarly, ears, and the side you chew on . The brain lobes, which control your thought processes, show that right handers are better at certain things , and left handers are better at other things , notably art, music, mathematics. From Medieval French heraldry , right is 'dexter' and left is 'sinister', so I consider myself as a 'Sinister 'person. Casually, left handers are often referred to as 'gauche', cack handed, gammy handed, or other silly/daft names. As a sinister person, together with other left handers , we consider ourselves to be the best part of the world, because we are different. Ha!!! Ha!!! So there you have it!!! I hope that helps!! . There is no BEST side!!!!!
Why are some people left handed?
to be right handed is a dominant trait, the left is recessive, plus with the the left hand you put your hand in a more awkward postion. :) get it? hope you do if you dont know what dominant and recessive traits are, it has to do with genetics.
Why are there left handed people killed every year due to using right handed products?
It is fairly common knowledge that left handed people do not live as long as right handed people, mostly due to accidents. Even if you look at a simple tool, like scissors, they have to be used in a less than efficient way in order to make them work. So a task that might be considered safe becomes unsafe.

Why do you write with a hook when you are right handed?
Technically, you don't have to be right handed just to have a hook. Writing hooks and using your right hand does not have to do with anything related to each other. **Actually mainly just left handed people write with a hook, so that they can see what they've written by not having the palm covering it. If right handed people write with a hook, such as myself, it's for some other reason; which is what I'm trying to find out.
