It is well-known that the brain is divided into a right and left hemisphere, and that different activities are associated with the different hemispheres. The "left brain" is the center of speech and calculation, while the "right brain" is the locus of visualization and creativity. With the neural wiring crossing as it comes down from the head, the left brain generally controls the right side of the body, and the right brain controls the left. Therefore, right-handedness is associated with left-brain orientation, and left-handedness is associated with right-brain orientation. There is some correlation between left-handedness and artistic skill, and between right-handedness and verbalization skill. Of course, when you get down to the science, it's much more complex than that, and even the left/right-handed dichotomy is not so clearcut. But scientific studies have correlated handedness with all sorts of skills, such as reading ability or dexterity in moving pegs, and other seemingly unrelated traits, such as whether the hair-whorl on your scalp goes clockwise or counter-clockwise. These sorts of studies are interesting and useful in understanding the complexity of genetic expression in human development. And we can indeed say that left-handed people are different from right-handed people in ways that go unexpectedly beyond handedness.

A different side of their brain controls their movements, left for right handed and right for left handed. The nerve pathways cross causing the opposite side to have control.

Right Handed people are ruled by the left hand side of the brain,left handed people are ruled by the right hand side of the brain.They are equally intelligent ,their character is determined Genetically.

Left handed people use their left hand to write, and right handed people use their right hand to write.

The hand that they write with is the main difference.

You use the left side of your mind to control your right hand and the right side of your mind to control your left hand. Therefore lefthanded people are the only ones in their right mind.

it truly is declared that left-exceeded human beings have a decrease existence expectancy than precise-exceeded human beings because the international is geared to accomodate righties. for instance, the stick-shift is continuously on the right, wechronic on the right (in us of a), etc. some study have also shown that left-exceeded all and multiple seems likewise extra likely to be inventive, because they have a tendency to be precise-mind ruled, which pre-disposes them to creativity.

one in 7 men are lefthanded. But one in 15 women are.
So there must be something gender-related about it also.
