Why is the human body is symmetrical in exterior, but inside the stomach and heart is on left side? what advantages does it give to us?

Missed by most of the other comments is the advantages that asymmetry gives to *starting* locomotion. Walking on two feet or four requires twisting a spine, which means half the body has to rotate forward while the other half rotates backwards. Our internal asymmetry is an inbuilt twist that biases planting a right foot and swinging a left, using gravity and internal torsion to start walking. Basically it’s more efficient.
