IN REPLY TO: Only lefty in my family
AUTHOR: Bobby

Hi, I'm also the only lefty in my whole family, extended relatives included. A lot of the people who replied seem to think that it is genetic, but that's not true. I've read that scientists still can't figure out why so many people are right-handed and so few left-handed. It can't be genetics because I've heard of identical twins not having the same handedness, and they have identical DNA. for example, mary-kate olsen is a lefty and her sister is not. I love being a lefty though, it makes me unique when most everyone else is right-handed. :)
