From the meager Information ac
crealble on the subject H appear* that
primitive people* are as predominant
ly right handed as civilised people*
Any theory which areka to explain tb*
origin of right bandedneaa must go
bark farther than ctvlltiatlon. Accord-
ing to tha bureau of American eth

left bandedneas among tb# present-

authority that the Indiana were pre-
