Handedness: Genes, Brain, Evolution & Left vs Right

This podcast details handedness (e.g., left-, right-, mixed-, ambidextrous), exploring its genetic roots (multifactorial, not single-gene) and brain lateralization (left hemisphere dominance for language, right hand control). It covers evolutionary history from the Stone Age, fetal development, prenatal hormones, cultural biases, and links to cognitive abilities, mental health (ADHD, schizophrenia), and sports advantages.
