Everyone knows that a clear majority of people are right-handed. In statistic, about 90 percent of the world's populations are right-handed, about nine percent are left handed and 1 percent are ambidextrous. No one knows how quite sure the numbers are, some people prefer right hand over the other.
Granting one theory that's been took over the table from scholars at Pennsylvania State University, is that handedness is triggered and influenced by genes. The theory's that there's two different distinctions of a gene, the "d" gene which stands for dextral (meaning right) and the "c" gene which stands for chance. Because the d gene's the most generally found gene, it enlightens why most people are right handed.
Though, when somebody has the c gene, it doesn't essentially mean that person will be left-handed. It means there will be a chance, as the name of the gene states. In fact, there's a 50/50 percent chance of the person being whichever right or left-handed.
The genes come in duos, so every human has one of three different blends. The three combinations are:
DD: The person has a very strong propensity to be right-handed.
CC: The person has a 50/50% chance of being right or left-handed.
DC: The person typically prefers the right, although are perfectly capable of using their left hand as well, meaning they're ambidextrous.
What Does Research Say About People Who Are Ambidextrous?
A lot of study suggests that people who are unsurprisingly ambidextrous tend to have progressive problems, such as a reading incapacity and mumbling, as well as problems relating math and problem solving. Research also advise that people who are ambidextrous tend to have other problems such as ADHD or schizophrenia.
Now the problematic issue, is that they're making it seem like the cause of the developing issues and mental health difficulties are because of the ambidexterity, although that makes no sense. The ambidexterity's rather a CAUSE of some anomaly in the brain, as opposite to the ambidexterity itself causing the irregularity.
In actual fact, some of the keenest people known to man were ambidextrous, count these people Michelangelo, Einstein, Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, Truman, are among many others. If ambidextrous people have developmental issues, then why was da Vinci so damn smart (who's IQ was apparently over 200), in pretty much every single area? Exactly.
So, Can Learning Ambidexterity Have Any Benefits To Your Brain?
The modest answer is, yes. The reason? Learning any new skill, of any kind, forces your brain to develop new networks, work and" grow".
Learning to become ambidextrous is a great way to keep fit your brain and boost your creativity. If you're somebody who wasn't born ambidextrous and learn it, then it will NOT cause ADHD or any other weird symptoms. It's motivating and it also has a lot of real world benefits!
