Dominant hand preference appears to date back to a time long before modern humans arrived on the scene.

Many animals favor one side over the other, e.g. while most horses tend to favor one lead over another, agile horses sense the advantage of switching from side-to-side when traveling clockwise versus counter-clockwise and, thus, more readily make 'flying lead changes.'

This is a really fantastic find,  I've wondered more than once about the side predominance in our and other species and what can it tell us about brain and cognitive abilities development.
