#Did you know? 11% of the worlds population are left handed

Lefties make up about 11% of the population and slightly more men than women are lefthanded.

According to CNN, most right-handed people use the left hemisphere of their brains to process language, but that doesn’t mean most lefties are right-brained. About 98% of right-handers are left-brained, and about 70% of left-handers, only about 30% are right-brained or bilateral-brained (in which both halves are equally capable)

Left-handedness is about twice as common in twins than in the general population. A 1996 Belgian study found that about 21% of twins, both fraternal and identical, are left-handed.

In medieval times, left-handed people could not become knights because it was thought that they were descendants of the devil.
