Born left-handed

In indo-european cultures, left-handedness is the opposite of “right”: it is by default wrong, weak, or evil. For instance, “sinister” means “left” in latin. If you are right(-handed), you are right.

Is this also true in other cultures, i.e. a fairly generic human assumption, or is this specific to our own language roots?

I became curious one day after reading a 3,000-year-old-poem written in in an Early Semitic Language, that referred to “the right hand of God.”

Are you curious too? Here is my path of discovery. Check out what I found!
