In our class room, we were ask to do a project concerning the hereditability of being left or right handed. I tried looking for this information on a search engine, but came up blank. As asked above, I would like to know if left or right handed individuals are linked to genetics. I would like to ask this question to a Genetist, a psychiatrist and a neurologist as to get the whole of the answer if possible. As for myself, I do not think that it is linked to genetics specifically, but to the developpement of the neuroprocessors responsible for eye-hand coordination in the infant. Thank you, Julien Student at the CEABS, Grand Falls, NB, Canada.
