I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter

Interesting new study on why left-handers have survived Darwinism. The article leads off:

“Statistics show left-handed people are more likely to be schizophrenic, alcoholic, delinquent, dyslexic, and have Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as mental disabilities. They're also more likely to die young and get into accidents. So if evolutionary theory dictates survival of the fittest, why do lefties still exist?”

The article concludes: “The anomaly is left-handed people make up the extremely gifted and the extremely compromised…The rest of us make up the middle ground.”
