Is the fact that most people are right handed a result of biology or culture? Or both?

Yes

your main hand is the opposite of the testicle that hangs low.
This allows optimal scratching and sniffing, it's an evolutionary advantage.
Not proven, but a popular hypothesis:
There is a combat advantage to being left-handed. If you are left-handed, most of your opponents will be right-handed, and you will be used to how they move. But most of your opponents' opponents will also be right-handed, so they WON'T be used to how you move. This is most commonly observed today in sports.
This would create a kind of equilibrium, where the advantage is bigger the rarer it is, which in turn makes it more common, etc. If left-handedness also comes along with certain disadvantages (and there is evidence it does, healthwise), then you end up with stable minority of left-handers.

Being left handed myself I could say that is spot on. Though one person is far from a proof

Southpaw boxer here. Can confirm there is a huge advantage.
I am still curious as to why left handedness has remained so stable at 7-10% of the population.

Yes this makes sense and this kind of equilibrium has been observed in nature.

There was a good video about this but I can't find it on YouTube.
However, we are not yet sure that being left handed has anything to do with genes.
