- Authors
Kuntz, Brother Joseph
- Abstract
The article discusses the right-or-left-handedness of human beings in terms of genetics and heredity. A vast area of biological theorizing and interpretation revolve around hereditary. Mendelian theory had detected genes and chromosomes to be responsible for various characteristics of human beings. The use of hand by a human being is decided by the difference in development of a portion of his brain. It has been experimentally established that the portion of brain which grows earlier in embryonic life dominates the actions of matured body. Also is the fact that what one does and the way of doing is dominated by the hand used.
