Dear G
Very few people are born with total ambidexterity, but many become partially ambidexterous by means of continuous practice. e.g. professional footballers who can kick equally well with either foot; left-handed persons often develop some degree of ambidexterity by default, from living in a right-handed world. The Genecare Medical Genetic Consultant for example!
