International Leftist Day falls today (Friday) and is dedicated to people whose dominant hand is the left hand, we examined what causes leftism?

Between 10 and 15 percent of the world's population are left-wing!
And yet it is not clear why many are more right-wing in the world, and also what exactly makes people left-wing.
Undoubtedly there is a matter of heredity here.
A person's chance of being born left to two left-handed parents is quite high, and even approaches 50 percent according to some studies, whereas if both of your parents are right-handed, the chance of being born left-handed has only a few percent.
Another explanation for the strength of one hand over the other lies precisely in the lobes of the brain.
According to the theory, parts of the body are connected by intersecting the parts of the brain - the right hand is connected to the left lobe, and the left hand to the right lobe.
Hence the assumption that if you are right - your left lobe is stronger, and if you are left then your right lobe is more developed.
So yes, it is common to say of leftists that they are creative, and the reason is that the right lobe in the brain is linked to artistic abilities, thinking outside the box and a developed imagination.
The left lobe, on the other hand, is responsible for order, organization, logic, and mathematical thinking.

In the past, leftists were treated rather discriminatingly, to put it mildly, and in some cultures they were considered evil and even associated with the name of the devil.
The word "sinister" in English - evil - comes from Latin, and means left.
Many left-handers were forced to use their right hand, and in some cases even tied their left hand behind their back.
The use of the left hand was perceived as negative, and until the last century this attitude still dominated many places around the globe.
But that did not stop the leftists, or "right-handers," as they are called in the Bible. Are you leftists? Want to run for president of the United States, because you probably have not bad chances at all.
Eight American presidents were left-wing - James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush Sr., Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Five of them are among the last nine presidents - this is a crazy rate compared to their ratio in the population.
