He explores the genetic and environmental factors influencing handedness and dispels the myth that lefties are more creative. Ocklenburg also discusses why left-handed individuals are underrepresented in research, the concept of pawedness in animals, and the curious advantages left-handers may have in certain sports. Plus, he unravels the complexities of ambidexterity!
