Are they ready? Are they gay? Do they live less? Here we made clear.
August 13 is the International Day of Lefty, whose aim is to show the difficulties that these people go and claim their rights and have equal access to tools and everyday objects that make their lives easier, Ned taught us Flanderes: from scissors and can openers to the gearshift lever of the automobiles.
This celebration is because Topeca in Kansas City, was founded in 1975 the "International Organization for Lefties", although another version says that the "Left-Handers Day" was instituted by the Left-Handers Club in London when the August 13, 1976, opened a store, choosing this time to draw attention to myths and superstitions about lefties.
But why are lefties? Is the brain than left-handed? Is it true that they will die before? Here we solve with 8 lefty brain data:
1. What is handedness: The brain is divided into two hemispheres, each with different functions. Control of movements, especially the higher precision, the left hand exercises: this is called being clever. When this control is dependent on the right hemisphere, people are left-handed.
Two. What makes you left-handed? There are genes, such as family LRRTM, organized by the brain, so that the right hemisphere is more creative and is the most developed in the artists, as you view things globally. Meanwhile, the left is more logical, systematic. The mathematicians are more specialized, the language and organization of games like chess are there.

Three. How many people are left-handed? World population (estimated at more than seven billion), 10% are left-handed, that is, the function of language and writing is coordinated by the right hemisphere. It is estimated that there are more men than women in this condition.

April. Determines? Sexual preferences? The neuroscientist Sandra Witelson suggested that gays had a 50% higher probability of being left-handed or ambidextrous than straight men and women.

May. Are they dying before? The researcher Oscar Garcia, UNAM Prospero said no one has shown that life expectancy is shortened left-handed people, and not to say that has not been studied.

June. Are they likely to be schizophrenic? One person in 100 is schizophrenic, and on the other hand, what's left handed?, 10 out of 100. So even though they were only handed schizophrenics would be only 10 out of 100. Furthermore, the position is not strong because many of those affected with this condition are skilled. Thus, the approach is only an idea alarmist nothing more than a speculation, Prospero said Garcia.

July. Do they handle their emotions differently? Yes, people have to use their hands to approach or reject things that motivate or provoke emotions. In the right-handed approach motivation or approach the cerebral hemisphere controls the right hand ordering, while lefties have that motivation in the hemisphere that controls the left hand

August. Do lefties are evil? Obviously not, but the belief in the past deployed hundreds of abuses and violations of fundamental rights of hundreds of people who are linked with "evil". Ignorance led people to things like force lefties to write right tying them or beating up bloodthirsty punishments.
