Mystery of the Left Hand Most computer designers are left-handed. So are John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova and 40 per cent of top tennis players. So are many twins.... and left-handedness is common among architects. Boys are often more left-handed than girls. Ten times as many left-handers have difficulty reading and writing as right-handers, and twice as many left-handers have migraine, allergies and rheumatoid arthritis.
Professor Norman Geschwind of Harvard University has developed a controversial theory which explains it all. According to him, left-handers really could be a race apart.
