    Ah, I hoped it would cover a different angle. As a left-footed, right handed person, I was excited about how “learning to walk” affects handedness, but sounds like this research is more about how it evolved.

    EDIT for info: My mother is left handed and my father right handed. Given that he worked a lot, I think I learned some things from my mother. I also use my cutlery “the wrong way around” and had to try writing with both hands because teachers suspected I was left handed, but dropped it at some point. Nowadays left hand writing looks like I am 10 years old ^^ Foot wise it was more clear though. I always preferred using my left leg.

        I have certain preferences for certain activities, I’m left handed for writing but right handed for lots of other stuff.

        Got a few confused looks in sports :P and was not very helpful for stuff like long jump were run up was always explained for right-footed only. I’ve added some additional information to my initial post.
