The '''golden ratio''' is the supposed mathematical equation to beauty. In humans the golden ratio is sometimes correlated with attractive proportions of the human body, such as a man's shoulder width to waist ratio. <ref>http://www.fitocracy.com/knowledge/a-brief-discussion-of-the-look-and-how-to-get-it/#:~:targetText=From%20there%2C%20the%20aim%20is,easily%20reduce%20your%20waist%20measurement.</ref> <ref>https://www.fitmole.org/perfect-male-body/</ref>

Studies by psychologists, starting with Gustav Fechner c. 1876,[103] have been devised to test the idea that the golden ratio plays a role in human perception of beauty. While Fechner found a preference for rectangle ratios centered on the golden ratio, later attempts to carefully test such a hypothesis have been, at best, inconclusive
Psychologists, starting with Gustav Fechner (1876), have proposed that humans could somehow recognize this ratio in all kinds of proportions and experience it as the most aesthetic proportion.
Fechner's historical findings could however not conclusively be reproduced.<ref> Livio, Mario (November 1, 2002). "The golden ratio and aesthetics". Plus Magazine.

Some have even called the golden ratio "the biggest myth in design".<ref>https://www.fastcompany.com/3044877/the-golden-ratio-designs-biggest-myth</ref>
The proportions in humans that supposedly follow a golden ratio are often significantly different from the golden ratio.<ref>Pheasant, Stephen (1998). Bodyspace. London: Taylor & Francis. ISBN 978-0-7484-0067-6.</ref>


Some specific proportions in the bodies of many animals (including humans)[98][99] and parts of the shells of mollusks[3] are often claimed to be in the golden ratio. There is a large variation in the real measures of these elements in specific individuals, however, and the proportion in question is often significantly different from the golden ratio

but sometimes with the claim that each new chamber is golden-proportioned relative to the previous one.[100] However, measurements of nautilus shells do not support this <ref>claim.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio#Disputed_observations</ref>
 
Others argue any attractive proportions associated with the golden ratio are by pure coincidence. <ref>https://www.fastcompany.com/3044877/the-golden-ratio-designs-biggest-myth</ref>
