Re: Are there any interesting ratios in the human body?

Joy,

The subject of human body ratios has a long history.  The most intense 
study of these ratios has been more in the field of art than in science.  
Several web sites deal exclusively with this topic.  The Golden Ratio is 
mentioned over and over again.  Not only is it found in the human body, 
but in pine cones, tree branches, the earth-moon relationship, the Great 
Pyramid of Egypt, and in our DNA.

The links are some of the more interesting and appropriate that I have 
found in a cursory review of the keyword search:  HUMAN BODY ANATOMY ART
