I’ve heard that in cultures where writing evolved from stone carving, the writing direction preferred the right to left direction since the chisel could be held more comfortably. Similarly in cultures where writing evolved from leaf or cow hide type manuscripts left to right was the norm.
I wonder what the evolutionary path would be for a boustrophedonous system.
Ooh that’s so interesting!
