24、d the right half, each of which functions differently. Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half. The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at neck-level to the opposite side of the body, and nerves from the other sid

26、ing, and makes most people right-handed.

Examples of the asymmetry, which flows from head to toe, are that the right side of our f
27、aces differs slightly from the left, that our legs differ in strength, or that our feet vary in size. One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.There is no doubt that all exist in a “right-handed society”, which produces most basics, including scis
