Why Left Cerebral Hemisphere is smaller than the right?

Dear student, 

The human brain is slightly asymmetric —the “right brain” is involved in spatial reasoning , while “left brain“ is involved in function of language processing. There are some areas in the brain, that are bigger in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere, which enables the humans to adapt to various selective pressures faced in their environment.Thus, the lack of symmetry in the brains is actually a sign of the plasticity or flexibility of the brains.

Regards.
