Nothing Even-Handed About It

At an editorial meeting of the Lifestyle department many moons ago, when I worked at a certain newspaper (no, not that one!), I noticed that the clear majority of us was left-handed. It was quite a rush ~ and also a curiously unique experience. I've never before or since been in the majority in that way. I've posted about left-handedness before (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-longer-left-behind.html). Maybe I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about it, because it's not easy being left-handed in a right-handed world. But I'm not complaining. I mean, on the scale of everything, it's a minor inconvenience. But I've always wondered why we left-handers make up such an overwhelming minority. The answer is that no one knows, but there are some intriguing theories: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20141215-why-are-most-of-us-right-handed
