Humans, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

No!
Because our right ear is bigger than our left ear.And many people have scars and marks on their bodies so that's why it is also not symmetrical. Also, many internal organs are not symmetrical, like the heart, liver and intestines.
Otherwise if we do not concentrate on these things our body is symmetrical.

∙ 14y agoGeneral Biology textbooks list symmetry as a key concept used by scientists to differentiate various groups of animals. Authors of these texts usually state that all animals except sponges have their body parts arranged along an axis. This arrangement may be one of radial symmetry, wherein parts are arranged around a central axis, or bilateral symmetry, wherein an animal's right half is a mirror image of its left half. Humans are placed in the group of bilaterally symmetrical animals (Phylum Chordata). But, how bilaterally symmetrical are we? Is our left half a true mirror image of our right half?

∙ 10y agoYes. The human body dispays bilateral symmetry. This means it has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of the body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

∙ 14y agoHuman faces have what is known as bilateral symmetry, which means that they have two similar sides, the left and the right. So yes, they are symmetrical.

∙ 11y agoSymmetry means having identical parts on both sides of the body(axis). You have a left arm and a right arm, a left eye and a right eye, a left leg and a right leg etc...

Give an example of asymmetrical animals?
Butterflies. Many animals are more or less symmetrical, with exceptions like crabs and lobsters which have one much larger claw, and some animals like flatfish which have evolved from a symmetrical ancestor in such a way as to favour one side only. Among humans, asymmetrical bodies or features are perceived as uglier, or as deformed, so there may be strong selection pressures to choose a more symmetrical mate. Animals which are super-symmetrical include peacocks, butterflies and patterned mammals such as tigers, leopards and ocelots. The last three are particularly symmetrical in their facial markings, which suggests that it gives a selection advantage.
