Dear Ken
Isn't ambidexterity the ability to use both hands quite well?
In traditional societies people used both their hands for most of the
activities- craft, farming etc, in fact their whole body. I have seen
carpenters using their  legs to hold wood and the hands for other
work. This is done in most things they do and naturally both hands
gets used to action.
I do have some movies of artisans working which i can upload on
youtube for you to see.
