Out of 122 left handers or patients with mixed handedness, 70 percent had language in the left hemisphere, 15 had language in the right, while the remaining 15 percent had language represented on both sides.

Also consistent with the notion that left-handers have delayed maturation is Coren's (1989b) observation that left-handedness is associated with somewhat smaller body size in terms of both height and weight.

But familial left-handers and those right-handers with left-handedness in the family appear to have greater bilateral control of language and better prognosis for recovery.

Neither pathological left-handedness nor a genetic predisposition towards decreased cerebral lateralization seem able to account for available data.
Left-handers with familial left-handedness exhibited better scores on numerical reasoning, on verbal reasoning, and on two visuospatial tasks involving visual closure (Hidden Figures, Picture Completion) than did left-handers without left-handed relatives.

It was found that there was a negative linear correlation between nonverbal IQ and the strength of left-handedness in females with and without FS, a quadratic relationship in male left-handers without FS and a positive linear correlation in male left-handers with FS.

Musical talent was related to left-handedness and to anomalous dominance; immune vulnerability was found in female musicians, and in subjects with reversed dominance for language functions as well as in male left-handers, independently of musical talent.

Gays are also more often left-handed than heterosexuals, which makes a sort of sense because handedness is affected by sex hormones during development, but it is also odd because left-handed people are supposed to be better at spatial tasks than right-handers.

The handedness groups were virtually identical for the preferred hand, but left-handers were significantly faster than right-handers with their nonpreferred hand.

To the extent structural asymmetries of the brain in modern man are associated with handedness, the evidence for similar structural asymmetries in hominids suggests that these precursors of modern man included more right- than left-handers.
There were very few significant differences between handedness groups, but there were consistent trends for right-handers to have a higher and a more variable ridge count than left-handers in both sexes.
