  • We all know that humans tend to have a dominant hand. That is, the hand we use to do most of our tasks. About 90%of the world’s population is made up of right handed people. Only 9% of the world’s population is made of left handed people. And so, left handed people end up being the minority in the right handed world. This has a lot to do with the brain and its left hemisphere and right hemisphere. While research suggests that being a left handed person might have something to do with genetics, it is not yet proven. It is fascinating to think about why some people are left-handed. Is there a difference in how the hemispheres of the brain works for left-handed people?
    In this video, we answer all these questions and more. After all, there’s a reason why we celebrate international left handers day!

    Remaining 1% of the population are called "Ambidextrous" which is very rare. People who can write with both of their hands and use both of their hands equally. They don't have a dominant hand like others, they make use of both hands equally.
    And by the way, the video was awesome. A clear information about left handers...I really liked the way you explained mam... I'm a left hander too😃🙂

    The remaining 1 percent are known as ambidextrous . Ambidextrous is they use both the hands as their dominant hand .I came to know this while watching Cricket . I love seeing Cricket, where I see that some cricketers use right hand for bowling and left for batting and vice versa. Fun fact : even I use left hand for bowling and right hand for batting just to be cool 😅

I do my all works while being a lefty. Every one who knows I am lefty lend me to say lucky however my youger brother always says why only she is lefty in our family even though she lucky and I am!!.....

    I had a question, there was a boy in our class who got fractured his right hand now as a write hander he could not write with left one but after some practice he started to use his left hand now even when his write hand plaster got down he used to prefer his left hand and became left handed. So my question is that why he did not became ambidextrous.

  • @renetonoble5691
    @renetonoble5691 2 роки тому +6

    I did the things you told to do and I used my left hand most of the time. But I use my right hand for righting and I use my right hand for throwing a ball and etc. So I am not sure whether I am right handed or left handed. But one thing is sure that I am a left footer. I can hardly use my right leg to kick a ball. So what kind of a person is me?

  • @jagdishgupta8899

    The remaining 1percent is that the people use both of their hands as dominant hands .
    This mostly occurs because people in abacus are trained to write with both hands but only a few can master this talent and there are very people who use this talent after abacus and they are one in a million

    My brother had started writing with his Left-Hand but my parents tried to make him write with his right-hand..(my parents are right-handed and same goes for me)..
    So, now he's 9 and he writes with his right-hand and eats with his left hand..lol (my parents are trying to make him eat and write both with one hand now )..
    (When I was in 4th grade, my teacher had told us a similar story about her and now, she also writes with her right hand and eats with her left hand)
    And my uncle can write with both hands..(he started with his Left-Hand at first but, now he can write with both even though he prefers his left hand).. *And that's probably that 1%that was left.. They can write with both hands..*
    My grandma's maid's daughter had told me that she can also write with both hands.. (I haven't seen her writing so, idk..)
    I think that everyone can learn to write with with both hands with some practice :)

    I think the remaining 1% might be a mixture of both Lefties, and Righties, one person I can think of that falls into this category is Leonardo-Da-Vinci. Rumor has it, that he can write with his right hand and draw with his left hand at the same time! People that fall into this category are called: Ambidextrous

    Till 3 years I was left handed then my mom told it would be difficult for me to write so I started writing in right hand itself then am I left or right handed ? I have this doubt for a long time if anyone know the answer pls tell me but still I can write in both the hands well

    Ma'am I think that if 90% are right handed, 9% are left handed then 1% are both handed means they use both their hands for doing daily activities
