OT: Symmetry vs. Assymetry

Hi, all

Sorry for this off topic matter, but its friday, the list was rather quiet and
I thought maybe someone likes to divagate on this.

I recently watched a scientific/didactical TV program where a teacher of the
London University talked about his theory about symmetry and assymmetry in
biological organisms where he tryes to explain why some externally symmetric
organism are internally rather assymmetric.
For example, some human internal organs, mental capabilities and abilities are
assymmetrically localized.
In his theory affirms that simple organisms are more symmetric than complex
organisms. Complex organisms maintains symmetry in what is necessary for
movement, attraction or other conditionants while tend to become
more assymmetric in other aspects to improve its effectiveness.

Do you agree with this theory?
Do you think is applyable to Quixote applications?

Cheers,
