?What makes a person become left-handed rather than right-handed? ?One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. ?Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. ?Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them left-handed. ?However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of left-handed people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.
