Approximately 8–15% of the adult population is left-handed. Studies indicate that left-handedness is more common in males than females. Left-handedness, in comparison to the general population, also appears to occur more frequently in identical twins, people sexually orientated towards children, and several groups of neurologically disordered individuals (epilepsy, Down's Syndrome, autism, mental retardation, etc.)
Statistically, the twin of a left-handed person has a 76% chance of being left-handed.

people don't really know. They say anywhere from 2-30% of the population is left handed. Most estimate that 10% are.
