Why are some people left-handed? - Daniel M. Abrams

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/why-are-som...
Today, about one-tenth of the world’s population are southpaws. Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed -- and why does the trait exist in the first place? Daniel M. Abrams investigates how the uneven ratio of lefties and righties gives insight into a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.

[@Gamer-jv8uv]

the real question is, why are so many of you right handed

[@soyokou.2810]

the real question should be "why is there handedness in the first place?"

[@Elliandr]

P Ciprian not more prone to accidents. That's a fallacy argument this video was presenting in probably the worst argument anyone could make. the claim is that people who are left handed are more prone to accidents because all of our tools are right-handed, but the truth is that tools are made to be right handed because the majority of people are right-handed to begin with and while learning to use a hand you're not used to using for a particular tool you are more likely to have an accident with that hand regardless of your handedness. here's an experimental setup: compare the accident rate among lefties using right handed scissors and a writing using left-handed scissors. chances are they're the same. I think it's ridiculous how this video is trying to claim that people are left-handed are automatically accident prone and dangerous to themselves just because they're using a hand. I mean, it's really obvious the person who made this video is trying to stretch that argument as part of a personal opinion when the facts just don't add up to it.

[@lucascabral4566]

Elliander Eldridge I think you are more prone to accidents because your illogical thinking happens on the left side of your brain

[@Elliandr]

Lucas Cabral Your intuition is in the right brain though. I wouldn't be alive at all if my illogical instincts didn't protect me from danger. Regardless, you use both hands. I don't know anyone who refrains from limb use without medical explanation, and while it could be argued that by using your right hand you use the left brain more, that's really just saying that the processing of the left brain is offloading most of the processing required because the right brain is still involved and can gradually become as proficient without having to learn frpm scratch if the right hand became tpo injured to use. Furthermore, your eyes are a perfect example of both sides working together. The pre processing for each eye is handled in the opposite hemisphere before a composite image is formed. Although speech is exclusive to the left brain, we know the right brain has an analog because when the left brain is physically removed the individual can develop speech. Of course, the best argument seems to be that those with no left brain whatsoever have no higher accident risk than those with only the opposite.

[@pandora4555]

Lucas Cabral did you know right hands use the left side of the brain more? Just thought you should know that :)

Being leftie in sports is always an advantage. As he said that in baseball, the same applies for soccer... a leftie NEVER misses a penalty kick.

Being a leftie I had to learn to use right-handed golf clubs growing up, but in Ireland we have a sport called hurling and because of playing this sport I learned to hit on both sides and as a result I can play golf with both sets of clubs (right and left handed). I also had to use right-handed objects like scissors so like most lefties I have become slightly ambidextrous. I was also led to believe that many left-handed people are more artistic and creative than normal and as a matter of fact I have noticed that a great majority of artists that I see working SEM to be fellow lefties. Long live the left-handed person , it used to be known as the "Devils hand" when I was growing up in Ireland.

My family got all teachers to force me to write with my right and I constantly got yelled at by everyone and bullied bc of it. Teachers yelled at me, classmates noticed, I got bullied. I got pushed around physically and emotionally at school and home. I never felt safe anywhere. I had no friends or family to ask for help. All bc I couldn’t change my left handedness. Don’t get me wrong - I tried my best but i struggled a lot. Detentions bc I couldn’t write properly and neat enough, teachers made me sit inside and made me hyper focus on my writing so much that I didn’t have time for any other subjects (I was always told that I needed to change my hand before I can do anything else) so u can already tell how I struggle with other subjects growing up (side note - on a happier tone, I started doing better in highschool). I’m about to be 26 and I still haven’t changed. Family means nothing to me (they were INSANELY abusive and I’m glad to escape out alive (without being so grim)…all bc I’m a leftie…I was always in the wrong in their eyes and everything I sucked at or failed at was due to my “demonic left hand and nature” 😂🙄 It took me until the age of 20 to know that it’s normal to be left or right handed.

Those little desks were meant for right handed people so I never had a place to wrest my arm while I was writing. My teachers could never understand why my hand writing sucked. I would always have notebook spirals indented into my hand or ink or pencil graphite smeared all over it. Binders were the worst. Scissors you have to just use them right handed and just accept a lesser grade usually.

[@tofu_saves_the_world]

A good thing about being a lefty for me is that it constantly reminds me of how it feels to be minority. Growing up in a quite homogeneous rural community in Japan as a majority, I had rarely encountered difficulties in society which minorities might have -- except for being a lefty. Whenever I have a discussion about making inclusive society, I always remind myself of the inconveniences living as a lefty in a right-hand dominant world and sympathize with minorities in other fields. It's not necessarily easy for the majority to be aware of what kind of inconveniences and hardships minorities are going through until they become the minority themselves. I often talk about inconveniences that I feel as a lefty, and my right handed friends' reaction is always "oh I've never even thought about it because it worked totally fine for me". Being a lefty has been a life lesson for me to keep in mind, not to judge someone's struggles from the majority standard and think about what it truly means for society to be inclusive.

[@Cliohna]

Beautiful

[@APSparanormaluk]

You're not wrong, I also think it has a bit of a flipside too. On the one hand you definitely are a minority. However the other minorities that you're talking about are also mostly right handed. So you can understand their plight, doesn't mean that most of them understand yours. It's not a bad thing in any way, just a bit of a reflection to injest I guess.

Believe me I'm aware that most people are right-handed, the world is designed for those people.

Handedness in music is so interesting! I play classical guitar right handed, trumpet, and French horn! French horn is played with your left hand, while trumpet is played with your right.

My parents had 4 kids together and 1 child (my mom) and 1 with one of the way (my dad). I'm the only lefty currently. Both my mom and dad are right-handed, so we definitely live up to these statistics. I'm quite curious how the new baby will be born, since my dad's wife and stepmom are both left-handed. A lot things are created and taught with only right-handed people in mind, like some instruments, notebooks, lots of school desks, some scissors (although there are some brands that offer versions for us lefties), the list goes on. I'm a Violinist, and while I'm incredibly skilled and love playing, I was taught how to play as a right-handed person. This makes some sense, as everyone else was right-handed, and having someone playing in the opposite direction could make us look disorderly, but I'd have also loved to learn how to play violin as a lefty. Because so many things are designed for right-handed people, I often use my right hand to complete some tasks. At this point, I can even write somewhat decently with my right hand and could be considered ambidextrous. This is actually the case for a lot of us left-handed people.
