Anthropologists have placed together the little they known about the history of left handedness and right hand handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written record, they did leave tool bones and picture. Stone Age hand axes and hatches made from stone that were carefully chipped away made to from sharp cutting edges. In some , the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right handed people,designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implement were made by or for left hander, Prehistoric pictures, painted on walls of caves, provider further clues to the handedness of ancient people. A righthander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals facing towards the left whereas s a lefthander finds it easier to draw faces towards the right. Both kind of face have been found in ancient painting. On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left or right handed. But in the Bronze Age. The picture changed The tool and weapon found from that Period are mostly made for right handed use .The predominance of right handednes among humans today and apparently already been established.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follow:
It is said with truth that the function of a university is to prepare the young to take their place in human society. It must provide Its members with the knowledge and skill necessary to make them efficient citizens. But is the whole duty of man exhausted by the acquisition of knowledge and professional training? Is a university only an institution for higher learning, a factory which churns out clerks and technicians able to run the machinery of the State? Mere knowledge which gratifies curiosity is different from culture which refines personality. Culture is not remembering a mass of serious details about the dates of birth of the great heroes of the world or the interesting names of the fastest ships which cross the Atlantic or entertaining odds and ends gathered from the latest who's who. A well-known institution of this country has for Its motto sa vidya yavimuchyate: that is, knowledge which is designed for salvation, for the development of the soul, is the best. Such an idea is not merely an Indian idiosyncrasy. Plato said long ago that the culture of soul is "the first and fairest thing that the best of men can ever have. According to Goethe, the object of education is to form tastes and not simply to communicate knowledge. A man's culture Is not judged by the amount of tabulated information which he has at his command, but by the quality of mind which he brings to bear on the facts of life. Education is not cramming the mind with a host of technical details, putting sight, as it were, into blind eyes. The eye of the soul Is never blind, only its gaze may be turned to the false and the fleeting. Too often the vision may be dragged downwards by the "leaden weights" of pride and prejudice, of passion and desire. The function of the teacher is not to add to the "leaden weights" but remove them and liberate the soul from the encumbrance so that it may follow its native impulse to soar upwards. The student at a university does not merely learn something, but becomes something by being exposed, in the most elastic period of his life, to transforming influences, such as the constant clash of mind with mind, the interchange of ideas, the testing of opinions, and the growth of knowledge of human nature.
What is meant by “leaden weights”.?
