ARTabstract
Anthropocentrism can bias scientific conclusions. As a case study, we challenge the 40year-old associative symmetry dogma, supposed to cognitively set apart humans from other species. Out of 37 human studies surveyed, only 3 truly demonstrate symmetry, of which only 1 (on 5 participants) suggests that symmetry is spontaneously formed.
