They were all lefthanded, along with other famous people including Brad Pitt Prince William, and Barack Obama. In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world39。 What makes a person bee righthanded rather than lefthanded? As yet no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get righthandedness from their parents. Studies have found that two righthanded parents have only a percent chance of having a lefthanded child, whereas two lefthanded parents have a 26 percent chance of having a lefthanded child. Another mon theory is that lefthanded people suffer mild brain damage during birth, which makes them lefthanded. However, if this theory were true, it would not explain why the percentage of leftbanded people is so similar in every society, when birth conditions vary so much from society to society.s attitudes toward lefthandedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (1020 years old) are lefthanded, only 6 percent of the elderly are lefthanded. Lefthanded children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are lefthanded are no longer looked down on nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today, either case is perfectly acceptable.（1）What makes one righthanded?
