My daughter would like to know why we have a dominant side. I’m pretty darn curious too.

Have you ever seen a fiddler crab? They have one big claw, one little claw. They are specialized for different functions. Lobster claws are also different.
You have one side that’s better at finer, more precise movements. The other side is good enough to perform support functions. One hand operates the knife, the other holds the fork. You only need one hand to be the best possible hand, and it can be better if the other hand doesn’t have to be as good.
