This is probably true, but I think could be more easily attributed to
environmental factors (let's face it, we're living in a rightie's world)
than developmental/genetic ones.  The fact that there ARE consistent "total"
righties indicates that there's a lot less pressure on them to use their left
hands than there is on lefties to use their right.
