Studies across multiple countries confirm humans have a natural left-turn, anticlockwise walking bias

Summary

Scientists have discovered that humans have a natural tendency to walk in an anticlockwise direction, with a left-turn bias observed across multiple studies in different countries including Spain and Japan. The phenomenon has been consistently demonstrated in various settings such as museums, supermarkets, and empty rooms, but researchers have not yet identified the exact mechanism behind this preference. The article draws a humorous parallel to the fictional character Derek Zoolander from the movie "Zoolander," who famously could not turn left.
