No, not those lefties.
Left-handed (http://www.nature.com/news/2004/041206/full/041206-6.html) persons flourish in violent societies, apparently.
Left-handed people thrive best in the most murderous societies, according to a study of tribes across the world. The discovery may help to answer the riddle of why a minority of left-handers persist in human populations.
Being a southpaw is an advantage in a host of confrontational situations. Lefties are far more common at the top of sports such as boxing and fencing than in normal society. The benefit comes from the element of surprise: most opponents will be less used to facing a left-handed adversary.
RTWT, if you want.
Opinions? How do the Southpaws fare in your classes?
