Does the hand that you write with affect how you write?

Yes. Right handed people can pull their hand away as they write, to make room for more letters. Left handed people have to push their hand over paper they've already written on. Left handed people tend to have a different slant to their letters than right handed.


How does the brains organization of left-handed people differ from that of right-handed people and what factors might be involved in causing left-handedness?

In your brain, the left primary motor gyrus controls muscles on the right side of the body, and versa. So if you are left handed, your right hemisphere of your brain is your dominate side. Left handed people tend to be more involved in nonverbal emotional expression and visual-spatial tasks, and are good at completing a puzzle, manufacturing blocks to match a design, excel in recognizing faces and facial cues, reading maps, copying designs, drawing, and a higher level of musical appreciation or responsiveness for music. The left hemisphere is superior in language abilities, speech, reading and writing, and excels in musical abilities. To some degree, we use both sides of our hemispheres; only one side is stronger than the other, therefore our abilities related to the dominant side are the strongest. However, some sources say that the right-brain, left-brain theory is a myth. Both sides are equal, and may have mixed strengths. The brain of the left-handed person is "less rigid" than right-brained people, and can have math and problem-solving on the right side while having art and writing on the left. Left handedness has many causes. There is a theory that the left-handed people held their shield with their right hand, and their heart was on their left side, so many left-handed people "died out". Left handedness may have also been caused because of an injury in the right hand, which made them adjust to their left hand. Another cause may have been because of the vanishing twin syndrome.


What are facts about left-handed people?

About 10% of the world's population is left-handed. Left-handed people tend to have better spatial awareness and are often more creative. They may also have a slightly higher risk of certain health conditions, such as allergies and migraines.


Why do you say that the right hemisphere is the subordinate or minor hemisphere?

It's not always the right hemisphare, the subordinate/minor hemisphere is the NOT dominant hemisphare. In more than 90% of population the left hemisphare is the dominant which makes the right the subordinate hemisphares. But in some (not all) left handed the right is the dominant hemisphere and the left is the subordinate hemisphare.


Do left brained people think that people are either left or right brained?

The scientific findings suggest that for each person either the left or right side of their brain is dominant and that this can affect the way we think. Left-brained people tend to be logical and systematic, while right-brained people tend to be artistic and emotional.

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.
