Video Description:
Why do most people write, throw, and eat with their right hand, while others naturally prefer their left? Is it determined by genetics, the brain, or something else entirely?
In this video, we explore the fascinating science behind dominant hands, from prehistoric humans and ancient civilizations to modern neuroscience. You'll discover how your brain develops a preferred hand before you're even born, why around 90% of people are right-handed, what causes left-handedness, and whether it's possible to become ambidextrous.
The answer involves evolution, brain specialization, genetics, and even a little mystery that scientists are still trying to solve.

Fascinating. I love learning about all kinds of things. Thanks Mel.
Funny, a while back I had to pick up a mouse for one of my granddaughters. She was kind enough to gently remind me to grab one for a lefty. Ahh. I'm glad she mentioned that -- it wasn't something I even considered. I am a righty.
