Asymmetry (from Ancient Greek ασυμμετρία “disproportion”, from Ancient Greek μετρέω - “I measure”) is the absence or violation of symmetry.

In living nature there are neither absolutely symmetrical nor absolutely asymmetrical objects. In any object there is always a unity of symmetry and asymmetry.

Humans, like vertebrates, are characterized by bilateral symmetry of the body in the form of paired organs or the presence of right and left halves of single parts and organs. But the biological principle of bilateral symmetry of living organisms does not manifest itself with mathematical precision due to uneven development or function, and is expressed in the form of a predominance in the size of one of the halves. A striking example of asymmetry is right- and left-handedness.

In humans, asymmetries manifest themselves in the form of morphological (structure, size, proportions, etc.) and functional differences: motor (movement), sensory (vision, hearing, touch, smell) and mental.
