trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim
Handedness is determined by a dominant genetic inheritance pattern
the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
confidence 40/100

Although twin and family studies suggest that handedness has a heritable component, large-scale genome-wide association studies have largely failed to validate simple dominant genetic inheritance patterns, pointing instead to a complex multifactorial etiology.
