Symmetry in life is a matter of division. The way it works is that one cell becomes 2. 2 become 4 - and so on. All complex pattern formation is built upon this simple scheme and so it's no surprise to find symmetrical - even legged (for example) things all over the place. Even in the case of non-legged things growth occurs bi-directionally, plants don't "grow up from the roots" they grow up -and-down. Even here, when we see asymmetry in action between roots and shoots the process itself enjoys symmetry in mechanics.
While the human body is not symmetrical from inside, it is very symmetrical from outside
It is more of beauty than function
Quote:If evolution is not intelligent asymmetrical shapes will be much more than symmetrical onesIntelligence is not required for symmetry in life, it's handled by the above processes (and many more, depending on the specific type of life we want to babble on about), both are mechanical (and you really have to cast the net wide to pretend that we're talking about evolution)). More hilariously, there are "behaviors" that lifeforms exhibit that we intuitively feel would require -some- intelligence of -some- sort that require no such thing upon further inspection. Positive phototropism (in heliotropes), for example.
and if it is a cause of some genetic function then bodies will be symmetrical from inside as well.
So I guess that's that, eh?
