Question

Are lefties smarter? I am a lefty and very smartest in my class!?

Answer 1

Genealogy and Genetics have some similarities, but you'd probably get a better selection of reasonable answers if you posted this entry in another category.

However, since I'm left-handed, I'm more than willing to research your question.  A sampling of web sites shows that the left-handed are more likely to suffer from common neurological disorders--epilepsy, Down's Syndrome, Autism, and mental retardation--perhaps because of a difficult birth. Over-exposure to testosterone can also lead to left-handedness.  

Those who defend the left-handed, however, note that the group has produced some high achievers; for example, Benjamin Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo were all left-handed.  Some researchers, however, found substantially no really measurable difference in the cognitive abilities of left-handed and right-handed individuals. Of course, we do look more clumsy trying to use tools fashioned for a right-handed world.

Answer 6

They say that "lefties are the only ones in their right minds."  For you people that don't understand that comment,  the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, thus the comment.  I think there some truth to it, though I'm kind of biased being left handed myself.  O.K. everyone,  let the thumbs fly....  I know that they will!!

Answer 7

In addition to posting this in the wrong category, smarty pants, as this is the genealogy forum, not genetics, your question also has grammatical errors.

Not so smart after all.
