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.

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.
