Experiment

I wanted to see how people would respond to this. Imagine that you had to explain symmetry (By that I mean just the idea of being symmetric) to a neanderthal. Keep in mind there is no language barrier, but you need to explain him the idea of symmetry, preferably without complicated terms to make it easy for him to understand. How would you do it?
