The Archaeology of Handedness, or, how evolution hates lefties! - Ep 222

Chris, one of the hosts, is a lefty. He’s always had to deal with what that means. But, why are 85% of humans right-handed while only a disproportionate few are left-handed? It’s not fair!

Segment two features an interview for Lana Ruck, an archaeologist that studied handedness for her Master’s research.
