Be it left or right-handed… why is there a need for it?
I have recently noticed that among my list of confirmed rh negative celebrities, the percentage of left-handed individuals is far higher than I previously expected. I have noticed higher than average percentages in all of the groups of rh negatives where I have run small surveys before, but those were not official studies.
However:
Among the list of rh negative celebrities the percentage of left-handed people is even higher.
What could be the reason for rh negatives to have higher percentages of left-handed individuals?
Most of the current research would suggest that left handedness has an epigenetic marker, a combination of genetics, biology and the environment.
This doesn’t sound very convincing, does it?
Are we less prone to developing habits?
It would also explain a higher percentage of ambidextrous individuals among us not really “deciding” which way to turn.

I had not read this yet. I can write with both hands. I choose my right. Yet with sports or activities in required to use both. I play piano, I’m an equestrian, I pa Int. And I can sign. These require ambidextrous abilities. So I guess both. I choose .y right hand to write.
I answered you yet forgot I’m a Dental hygienist. Maybe more people are ambidextrous and don’t realize it. I knit, all these activities utilize both hands. If course I’m curious about everything so as a kid I asked why (june) can write with her left hand? And I write with my right…. Well spent everyday practicing until I had two more books and without thinking wrot e not two pads two hands…. Practice…
I am Rh 0 Negative and I do a lot of things with both hands. We had a dinner guest one evening and he said, “I didn’t know that you were left handed” and I said I’m not. And then he said that I was pouring the tea with my left hand..lol….I guess that I am somewhat ambidextrous. One of my sons is Rh 0 Negative and he is also ambidextrous. He plays all sports using both hands and bats a ball with his left hand. We both can write left handed too…I have been known to sing in sign language and was not aware of what I was doing. It just comes natural for me. I have sit down and played a piano and was not aware that I playing until a music leader at the church asked me to help her with music and sign language. I told her that I didn’t know how to do either and she said that I was doing both.. Has this happened to other negatives too?
I find this label of “rh negative” disturbing. I understand the meaning but I think it creates an inappropriate characterization of handedness. Why not reverse the terms and label lefties as “rh positive”? This would help remove the stigma of being left-handed. Rather than perpetuating the notion that there’s something innately wrong with being left handed, using “rh+” could lead to a more positive perspective on handedness and the abilities that lefties have.
