The
Golden Ratio in Human Body and Human Embryo
Figure 1: The human
embryo
During the human embryo development,
the human embryo gradually unfolds itself in a such way that it
is exactly similar to the the golden spiral unfolds itself as
it spins farther away from its center.
Figure 2: The development
of Human Embryo and Golden Spiral
We can observe this golden
spiral pattern because the human embryo growth is proportional
to the size of the human embryo. This relation enables us to see
this amazing mathematical relation. (see figure 2&3)
Figure 3: Stages of
Developement of the Human Embryo
We can also find golden ratio
in human body. The Ancient Greeks considered one woman beautiful
if the proportions of the body portions give us golden ratio.(see
figure 4&5)
Figure 4: The proportion
of the human body display the golden ratio
If you measure the lengths
of the bones in your finger, you will observe that the ratio of
the longest bone in a finger to the middle bone is about the same
ratio of the middle bone to the shortest bone. The ratio is going
to give us Phi.
