Why biological asymmetry is more common than we think
In short: While we often associate perfect symmetry with beauty, asymmetry is actually vital to life. This video explores how biological asymmetry functions within the human body and why it can be quite beautiful.

Leo Q. Wan examines the human body to demonstrate that asymmetry is not just common, but essential for biological function and beauty.
