Handedness, Hand PreferenceAbstract
The trait of Handedness influences our daily activities like eating, tool use, and writing. Scientists have been interested in hand preference for many years, yet many aspects of it remain unknown. The purpose of this paper is to examine what is currently known about the genetic factors that contribute to handedness and explore different perspectives on how this trait may have evolved by utilizing currently existing scientific research and reviews. It is important to note that while research had identified estimated genetic contribution and uncovered evidence relating to its evolution, a lot of questions do remain unanswered.
