Why are we only symmetric on the outside?
In: Biology
While developing in the womb, we actually start off symmetrical. But then there’s too much stuff and too little space that leads to things being pushed to the sides and stuffed together.
(Fun fact: your intestines develop outside your body and are sucked back in when done)
Very few things aren’t symmetric on the inside. The only singular things really are the heart and some abdominal organs. Besides that, all of your bones and other organs and muscles are symmetrical.
I mean you mostly ARE symmetrical on the inside. Brain with two lobes, ribcage with two sides, two lungs, etc. Theres just a few organs that get smooshed around a lil, but the basic structure and placement is symettrical.
