From A Left-Hand Turn Around the World, by David Wolman:
"Meanwhile, National Cancer Institute researcher Amar Klar has put forth evidence correlating handedness with the direction of the hurricane-like hair whorl atop the scalp. Righties apparently show a counterclockwise rotation to the whorl, whereas lefties and mixed-handers show a 'random mixture of clockwise and counterclockwise swirling patterns,' application of high-octane hair gel notwithstanding. Because hair whorl is a trait dictated entirely by nature, Klar uses this finding to put to rest any nuture arguments for the origins of handedness. Find the hair whorl gene, he insists, and you will have found the handedness gene as well."

ReplyDeleteI think if you posted parallel photos of the back of Rob's head and his hairline, the answer would be quite clear.
