Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties (33) _____________up about 10 percent of the population - but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them. Just consider all of the right-handed gadgets, awkwardly designed desks, and cooking tools that fit comfortably only in your right hand, what (34) _____________someone to become a lefthand? Scientists aren't exactly sure, but research points to a complex (35) _____________between genes and environment.
While no exact set of "leftie genes" have been discovered, people who dominantly use their left hands do have more left-handed family members. And researchers have found different brain wirings in righties vs. lefties. But no matter (36) _____________it is that drives someone to use their antipodal paw, science has also uncovered a particular set of personality traits that lefthanded people tend to have. So for all of you lefties, leftie-loving righties, and ambidextrous folks out there - it's time to brush up on your left-handed knowledge and help (37) _____________an end to leftie discrimination once and for all.
