Abstract
There is evidence for a genetic influence on human handedness which cannot be fully accounted for by theories of a dominant-recessive gene pair or of polygenic inheritance. The ‘right shift’ theory suggests that the human bias to the right hand is a by-product of a gene for left hemisphere speech and that when this gene is absent there is no systematic bias to either side.
