is using right hand for writing a learn ed behaviour or there any scientific reason behind it?

Question

after or there the word IS is to be added.

Answer 1

Actually, it's neither. Bit it is the reason that book pages turn the way they do and clocks turn clockwise.

The vast number of people write right-handed because it's genetic, and there is also such a thing as being right- footed and right-eyed, and most people that are right handed have those things, too. For example, to see what your eye orientation is, stare at a distant object and don't move your head. When you close one eye and then the other, the eye that you favor is the one the object does not "move" for. Simple genetics.

However, since most people write with their right hands, scholars and scientists developed their tools and machines so they could manipulate them with the left hand while writing with the right. That is why book pages turn away from the right (if you use your left hand like your grasping a page, it's easier to flip it that direction because of the way your radius moves) and clocks turn clockwise (it's easier to turn the clock that way because of the way the wrist rotates.)

That isn't genetics, it's ergonomics (the science of how the body reacts in environments.)

Answer 2

It must be part of evolutionary history, but I can't remember why if I ever knew. I just know that 85% to 87% of people are right handed and most of the rest are left handed. Some are ambidexterous. I think it has something to do with the way the brain has divided tasks. Writing is a left brain function because language is largely a left brain function in right handed people. Come to think of it, I think that is the reason!

Answer 3

Most people, the world over, are right-handed, and their brains are organized accordingly. Because of that, I don't think it's a learned thing, but more of a genetic programming. Lefties tend to run in families. While their brains are usually organized similarly to those who are right-handed, they're more likely to be ambidextrous, with some skills controlled more evenly by both sides of the brain rather than one dominant side.

Answer 4

i think its scientific.

i am curious to find out if people who are in head trauma accidents, if they lose their right- or left-handed tendencies?

Answer 5

I believe that it's a learned behavior....however there couuld be some scientific logic to it......good experiment....or study.
