【右と左の不思議】右？左？の謎　“きき手”研究最前線 ｜ ガリレオX第69回

2014 Broadcast The "mystery of right and left" can be glimpsed in various ways in the natural world. For example, while there are both right-handed and left-handed humans, right-handedness is overwhelmingly more prevalent, with left-handedness accounting for only 10% of the total. This ratio remains constant across countries and ethnicities, and the reasons for this are not well understood. Furthermore, recent research has revealed that right-handed and left-handedness exist in non-human organisms as well, and that this is related to biological evolution. Furthermore, in the molecular world, there is a mystery as to why only left-handed amino acids exist in our bodies, and the key to solving this mystery was recently discovered far away in space. The latest science is slowly unravelling the mystery of right and left!
