Birth stress
Its basic premise is that left-handedness is due to brain damage during the birth process. Some statistics support this theory. Difficult or stressful births happen far more commonly among babies who grow up to be left-handed or ambidextrous. Birth stress is also associated with a number of birth defects and complications, including cerebral palsy and autism. A problem with this theory is that the dramatic reduction of traumatic births due to superior medical technology and obstetrics has failed to lower the proportion of left handed people. It would be a dramatic coincidence if improved medical technology allowed more children to survive stressful births in the exact proportion.[citation needed]
