Yes, and the graph reflects that. The visible prevalence of left handedness increased when we stopped trying to beat the demons out of left handed children. Teachers would beat kids’ knuckles with a yardstick if they caught them writing with their left hands.
It’s not that there were suddenly more left handed people; Those people had always existed, but got beat until they used their right hand instead. When we stopped beating them, they became more visible.
