Does the human body exhibit reflection symmetry? It is commonly assumed that it does. If we think of an imaginary vertical line drawn through the body dividing the body into two halves, is one half a mirror image of the other? Let’s look at just a face. Consider the photo of the boy looking straight ahead. The photo has been cut vertically to separate the face into two halves as shown

By duplicating each half and reflecting them over a vertical line through the center of the face, the following two photos result. The first photo is composed of two left halves and the second of two right halves. In general, does it appear that human faces display perfect reflection symmetry? In what ways does the human body display reflection symmerty?

List as many examples as you can.
