But some humans wanted to compete instead. So to have an advantage over right-handed people, they would use their left hand to surprise competitors.
__________3________ German born American scientist Albert Einstein, British physicist Isaac Newton and British biologist Charles Darwin are some famous “lefties”. At least six US presidents were left-handed, including Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Harry Truman.
“Lefties” are also often linked with creativity and visual (视觉) skills.
How can this be? Well, the left side of our brain is where we solve problems. The right side of our brain is where we develop creativity.
