It seems that left/right-handedness is not purely recessive or dominant, but is a combination of several genes. Either that, or a person's handedness is partially learned and not entirely genetic. For example, I'm purely right-handed in everything except when I play clarinet, where my left hand is stronger and more flexible, probably because so much more is required of the left hand than the right hand on that particular instrument.

Similarly, im right handed, but since i play piano, where many songs have a moving bass line, my left hand is more flexible and i can play better with it.

Your left hand is more flexible on piano? My right hand is more flexible, but my left hand is more powerful.

You must LOVE playing jazz riffs. :D

I heard a similar story on the radio a few months back about a girl doing a lab in school where she did the punnet squares to calculate her blood type based on the blood types of her parents. The bad part is, there was a zero percent chance that her blood type could be derived from her mother's and father's blood. Even worse, her mother had never told her or her father what had happened! Much discussion commenced with many callers.
