Why do suppose humans are not naturally ambidextrous?

Asked by josie (30934points) July 20th, 2011

The species is bilaterally symmetrical.

So how did it come about that human beings favor one side over the other.

And since that is the case, why is it not uniform over the species? All righties. All lefties.

Is this a transitional state?

Will primates eventually be ambidextrous as the righties. interbreed with the lefties?
