Exploring the historical stigma surrounding left-handedness, Rik Smits delves into a rich tapestry of anecdotes, superstitions, and myths that have shaped perceptions of left-handed individuals. Despite notable achievements by left-handers like Michelangelo and Jimi Hendrix, they have often been unfairly associated with negative traits and various health issues.
