But the researchers took a stab at it for eight traditional societies, including the Dioula people of Burkina Faso, the Kreyol of Dominica and the Yanomamo of Venezuela.

They found a strong correlation between left-handedness and homicide: Cultures that were the least violent, like the Dioula, had the lowest percentage of left-handers, while those with the highest homicide rates, like the Yanomamo, had the highest left-handed percentage.
