"The Right Hand: Left-Handedness" by Sir Daniel Wilson is a study from the 1800s that looks at the science behind being left-handed. The book probably touches on the history, language, body science, and even old artifacts to explain left-handedness. It might also talk about how being left-handed affects how well people use their hands and how society sees them, maybe even saying that being right-handed isn't the only way to be. It likely starts by looking at how important hands are to humans and how they've helped us develop, especially when it comes to using tools. The author may start off by talking about how common being right-handed is, but also hints that left-handed people have been treated differently in the past and implies that they should be accepted for who they, namely: unique. Wilson looks at both history and what's happening now to give a complete picture of hand preference and what it means for people and society alike.
