Is it anything unique with left-handed people?

[wiper]

If like me you have observed left-handed people closely, they seem to have a uniqueness about them. Be it aptness or great sporting ability, I hold the belief that they are stand out from the rest of us.

I was always told that left-handed people were right-brained, which meant they were thinkers and could think faster than those of us who are right-handed. I don't know how true this is, but this is what I was always told.

Maybe they are more artistic than us boring right handed folks. I have two sons, one sister, one uncle that are left handed. I dont see anything special about them other than I love them so much heh.

I've never noticed anything like that, but I haven't known very many left-handed people. I do know a few ambidextrous people, but they aren't particularly talented as far as I can tell.

[wiper]

Hehe, Piper and K Jones, you need to look at them closely. They stand out in some way by something they do or seem to be. I would want to hear more about they being right-brained. Something should also be able to explain why they are few and far apart.

Just found this on wikipedia

Left-handedness and intelligence

In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[29] Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is increasing and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that increases their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.

Positive connotations
Lloque Yupanqui, the third Sapa Inca, whose name means "the glorified lefthander"

Among Incas left-handers were called (and now are called among the indigenous peoples of the Andes) lloq'e (Quechua: lluq'i) which has positive value. Peoples of the Andes consider that left-handers possess special spiritual abilities, including magic and healing. Third Sapa Inca - Lloque Yupanqui — was the left-hander, his name in transfer with Quechua means «the glorified lefthander».

In tantras Buddhist, the left hand represents the wisdom.

I know this is old, but I never tire of it : Did you hear about the guy who invented a left-handed hammer. It didn't sell. No one has invented left-handed nails. I know, I know, it's corny.
