Fluctuating asymmetry as a possible measure of developmental homeostasis in humans: a review.

Human biology - 1 Aug 1991

Livshits G, Kobyliansky E

Abstract excerpt

We investigate three hypotheses related to fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilateral morphologic traits in humans: (1) the magnitude of FA in individual suffering from different levels of morbidity is significantly elevated compared with FA in healthy control subjects, (2) FA is negatively correlated with an individual's heterozygosity, and (3) phenotypic variance of FA may have a significant genetic component (or...
