Humans are the only primates with a lopsided hand preference

Did you ever notice that Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog are left-handers? Here is a short piece on the #handedness of #muppets :

I have a feeling I have done this poll before, but can't find it, so let me try it again.
Are you left- or right-handed? Which had do you use to wipe after going number 2 in the bathroom?
(If you don't have a dominant hand, or wipe indifferently, choose whatever.)

To understand left- and right-handedness, Professor Eric Horstick looks at zebrafish, which have transparent bodies, develop into adults in a few days, and their genetics and brain structure are highly similar to humans'. Here's his story for @TheConversationUS

Only 10 to 15 percent of people are left-handed. @[email protected] explains the science behind it. Does the fediverse mirror the world? Vote in our poll!

Left- and right-handed people process high-speed visual information on opposite sides of the brain, but process high-speed auditory information on the same side of the brain.

I hurt my hand on Sunday and now working with my left hand. Not withstanding I'm not used to using my left hand for everything, more things than I thought are designed for right hand use only...

Mildly interesting: most physical devices that have handedness assume you'll be using them with your right hand. Handheld radios and walkie-talkies assume the opposite.

I started playing the violin after retirement. As a lefty, I struggled for a long time to maintain the correct bow hold while keeping a relaxed wrist. Then one day I happened to pick up the bow with my left hand, and automatically held it correctly, even though I had never done it before. Somehow the skill transferred between hands....

Do any #sports have this kind of ambidextrous standard today? From the 1923 Women's Olympiad:
"Each athlete in the shot put and javelin throw events threw using their right hand, then their left. Their final mark was the total of the best mark with their right-handed throw and the best mark with their left-handed throw."

Our daughter(6) started to write text in boustrophedon. So i written little rudimentary example app in javascript to convert regular text. So how many of you folks look at the text and have hinch it will be more effective for reading than pure ltr or rtl? #boustrophedon #text #childrenDevelopment #psychology #handedness #writing #science

#Rare #Genetic #Variants Are Curiously #Connected With Being #LeftHanded
Learning how these #variations make left-handers different in other ways could help solve #mysteries such as how #genes can make people more likely to have #neurodevelopmental #disorders or develop #neurodegenerative #diseases.

I often hear right-handed people insist that left-handed people are smarter, and this view shows up in the popular press quite frequently, too. But I've always wondered whether left-handers believe the same thing. Any left-handers willing to weigh in? Is there research on this? (A 2018 meta-analysis concluded there's no difference.) #ConfirmationBias #handedness #LeftHanded #RightHanded

#Handedness
#Laterality"Human right-handedness represents an unparalleled extreme among anthropoids and taxa displaying population-level handedness are rare. Species-level direction of manual #lateralization was largely uniform among non-human primates and did not strongly correlate with any of the selected biological predictors, nor with #phylogeny"

@biorxivpreprint in this study, we explore #handedness -related difference in #CorpusCallosum morphology in #HCP data. As follow-up of a recent ("negative") meta-analysis we systematically explore some remaining questions such as the effect of various definitions of handedness. In short: handedness differences are likely negligible. Thus, the frequent notion that mixed- or left-handers have stronger interhemispheric connectivity, might be just one of these 1970/80s #HandednessMyths .

How is the #ButtonDifferential in #clothing (which way a shirt or fly opens), still a matter of #gender, rather than #handedness?🤔

@MicroSFF my wife has a hard time finding pants with pockets, while I find #pockets on some of the pants of my #1yo son...
the world is bonkers...Also, why do we still have that archaic difference in how buttons and zipper-flaps are oriented? Are women still expected to have servants dressing them?
button position in this day and age shouldn't be a matter of gender, but rather of #handedness.
