Left Out: One Person in 10 Has Sinister Leanings - 0 views

Why are most people right-handed? And what causes some to be different?

  What I find fascinating is that no matter how obvious the answer seems, our tendency toward the fundamental attribution error makes us lean toward blaming the people and their character flaws rather than the situation.
