A dominant animal is one whose sexual, feeding, aggressive, and other behaviour patterns subsequently occur with relatively little influence from other group members. [4] Subordinate animals are opposite; their behaviour is submissive, and can be relatively easily influenced or inhibited by other group members. [5]
The other hand, comparatively often the weaker, less dextrous or simply less subjectively preferred, is called the non-dominant hand. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In a study from 1975 on 7,688 children in US grades 1–6, left handers comprised 9.6% of the sample, with 10.5% of male children and 8.7% of female children being left-handed.
Many distinguish top/bottom from dominant/submissive by seeing top/bottom as an expression of physical power, while dominant/submissive is an expression of psychological power. In both types of relationships - top/bottom and dominant/submissive - consent, negotiations, and mutual respect and support for one another are keys to healthy dynamics.

The reaction time of the neurally dominant side of the body (the side opposite to the major hemisphere or the command center, as just defined) is shorter than that of the opposite side by an interval equal to the interhemispheric transfer time. Thus, one in five persons has a handedness that is the opposite for which they are wired (per ...
However, when comparing the frequency of discordant pairs of handedness, pairs that exhibit opposite handwriting, there was little to no difference in frequency. The frequency of left-handedness in monozygotic dichorionic twins was 22% and the data of frequencies of left-handedness in monozygotic monochorionic twins was 23%. [2]
