I was going to add this to the list in comments section! I'm glad this book has a following. My book club read it and discussed it for hours.

Right and left brained thinking has been completely debunked and is now considered "junk science". I love your site, BP, but if you're going to censor bad**s then you should censor brain rot concepts that are about as accurate as horoscopes.

45 Stories From History Captured In Pictures, As Seen On This IG Page
45 Stories From History Captured In Pictures, As Seen On This IG Page

I learned a lot about the history of Derry from the show Derry Girls. I know it is a fictional comedy, but being from the US this part of history is not well known to us, and the show was enough to perk my curiosity and start researching it. It is so incredibly crazy how all this has been going on into today. If you all want to learn more, the books Say Nothing , The Troubles, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died, and That's That were all very good and informative in different ways and voices. If your not a reader, I recommend watching The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Belfast, I Dolours, The Devil's Own, Hunger, The Images you Missed, and I am going to throw in The Crying Game because it is a great yet crazy movie. (if anyone lives in Great Britain or Northern Ireland and has other recommendations of books or movies, please add,or even better, share your own experience! And if I recommend a movie that is very inaccurate, please let me know)

There's no such thing as left-brained and right-brained.

Assuming both parents have one copy of each gene (one for right handedness, one for no preference - there's no 'left handedness' gene) then each parent has a 50/50 chance to pass either gene to a child. So each child had a 1/4 chance of getting both 'no preference' genes. They are indeed independent probabilities so 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16. An argument could be made that there's only a 40% chance of someone with the 'no preference' gene becoming left handed in which case the overall probability of both children being left handed is closer to 1%.
