Summary:

Alcoholism, autism, bed-wetting and brain damage - these are some of the things science has claimed left-handed people are prone to over the years. But where does left-handedness come from? It's possible that up until two million years ago we didn't care which hand we used. Then suddenly our brains changed. We developed language and all became right-handed. Left-handedness appeared on the scene much more recently and only in the last 5,000 years has there been so much of it around.
