Abstract
This paper presents a brief overview of the past and current state of handedness research illustrating some of the controversies. It emphasizes two aspects: the lack of agreement on the behavior that indicates to which hand-use group (left or right) an individual belongs, and the reasons for preferring one hand rather than the other for various manual activities.Keywords
