When you take a look at any sort “outlier” cohort of humanity, whether professional athletes, nuclear physicists, NASA astronauts or U.S. presidents, you’ll typically see an over-representation of southpaws. This is not a coincidence.

Same with music.

I’m a true anomaly and proud of it.

I can write legibly with either hand (including upside down and backwards in print or script).

I throw and catch with my right hand, but hold my fork and style my hair with my left. In gymnastics, I favored my left side; in dance, my right.

Bowed my violin with my right but strummed guitar with the left.

I ranked in the 98% for engineering but went into teaching, then engineering, then property/risk management.

Born a woman, every test I’ve taken indicates an 80% or higher male dominated brain/thought patterns.

My father and two of my children are left handed.

I realized that different sides of my brain were being activated for different skills and just went with what felt natural.

That's true of mixed race people also, due to a widening of the bell curve. Unmentioned is the overrepresentation of people that end up on the left side of the curve.
