I think the more interesting question is why are 95+% of people right
handed, rather than 50/50.


My theory is that, if left to our own choice, equal number(*) of people
would be right handed as left.

Unfortunately, we aren't left to our own choice. I recall being scolded by
a teacher for using "the wrong hand" to hold my pencil. My dad had the same
experience. I've heard the same story from others as well.

*Footnote:
I don't say 50/50, because there are some folks who are ambidexterous,
and there are some folks who can't use either hand effectively. I believe
those latter folks are called management.
