Interesting tie in to the way that the language is written.Throws some interesting questions rather than light on the subject.
Left to right writers like us …don’t spoil the wet ink as we write…would’nt a right to left written language spoil if written in ink as was normal..so why does it evolve?
Unless it developed from left handed ink writers …..interesting questions …unanswered.
The actual study though reminds me of my post on the probable prevalence of ghost sightings on the left visual field.Bad things happen more often in the left visual field as the seat of negative emotion would more firmly entrenched on our left hemisphere…..hence the sighting/perception of more foul behaviour on the left .
Found on WIKI.. The reason the Arabs and Easterners wrote right to left is to do with the nature of writing on scrolls..left hand needed to hold down the scroll as the right hand wrote…
Chinese write from top to bottom as well.
