Studies suggest that individuals with left-handed relatives are more likely to be left-handed themselves, indicating a genetic influence. However, environmental factors and individual brain development also play significant roles in determining handedness. Overall, while there is a genetic predisposition, the exact mechanisms are still not fully understood.

Left-handedness is considered to be less common than right-handedness, but it is not necessarily dominated by right-handedness. There is no clear answer as to whether left-handedness is dominant or recessive, as it is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and cultural factors.
