Two thoughts, and I am too lazy to do a Google search:

1) I thought in the animal kingdom that "handedness" was roughly 50-50, so it was culture that made humans right hand dominant.

2) I thought I have also heard that left handed people also have their brain functions mirrored, analytical and creative sides are flipped from right handed people.

What does this study say about ambidextrous people?

I think the author is herself left-handed, but that’s only an uneducated guess based on the two articles she’s written about left-handedness. :^)

It’s easy to see how right-handedness will be the next big thing to condemn as a form of bigotry.

Good question.  I'm not sure you would call it ambidextrous but I write/eat left handed but play sports right handed.  For me Left = dexterity and right = strength?

My mother and three of us boys are left handed.  In kindergarten my teacher kept putting the pencil in my right hand.  When Mom found out she and Dad had a friendly visit with the teacher and convinced her that you should't try to "make" a kid use his right hand if he naturally grabs the pencil with his left.  Glad she did.
