        There is no source, you can easily google this. Its a combination of genetics, cultural factors, and maybe even birth circumstances, i.e. birth weight, sex, whether you’re a twin, could all be factors. But the web also says we really don’t know why there are less left handed people than right handed people. This person is a bozo spouting off misinformation, maybe to be funny?

          Look at his profile and account name, he’s trolling.

          In the original sense of the word from like 20 years ago before it got applied to a million other types of behavior.

            I mean, that’s great and all, but with the huge rate of misinformation and intentionally disinformation today, people don’t really appreciate (don’t know if we ever did), trolling like that anymore. Hence the huge amount of downvotes.

              I hear you but trolls are usually trying to get downvoted anyway.

              Plus, trolling can be funny sometimes, when it’s done well. On the topic of being left handed, it seems pretty harmless to me. If they were trolling about political topics and such, that’d be much less funny and more problematic.

          Which is what I was trying to get them to admit.

            A good troll never admits it.

      For anyone even remotely considering this troll, left-handedness is polygenic (multiple factors).

      Anecdotal: I have twins, and one was drawing left-handed from the moment they could draw.
