Why does a tenth of thepopulation prefer the left. A. The probabilitythat two right-handed people would have a left-handed child is only about 9.5percent. The chance rises to 19.5 percent if one parent is a lefty and26percent if both parents are left-handed: The preference, however, could alsostem from an infants imitation of his parents. To test genetic influence,starting in the1970s British biologist Marian Annett of the University ofLeicester hypothesized that no single gene determines handedness. Rather,during fetal development, a certain molecular factor helps to strengthen thebrains left hemisphere, which increases the probability that the right handwill be dominant, because the left side of the brain controls the right side ofthe body, and vice versa. Among the minority of people who lack this factor,handedness develops entirely by chance. Research conducted on twins complicatesthe theory, however. One in five sets of identical twins involves oneright-handed and one left-handed person, despite the fact that their geneticmaterial is the same. Genes, therefore, are not solely responsible forhandedness. B. Genetic theory isalso undermined by results from Peter Hepper and his team at Queens Universityin Belfast, Ireland. In 2004 the psychologists used ultra sound to show that bythe 15th week of pregnancy, fetuses already have a preference as to which thumbthey suck. In most cases, the preference continued after birth. At 15 weeks,though, the brain does not yet have control over the bodys limbs. Hepperspeculates that fetuses tend to prefer whichever side of the body is developingquicker and that their movements, in turn, influence the brains de
