Vision itself relies on a basic biochemistry which is common to all eyes. However, how this biochemical toolkit is used to interpret an organism's environment varies widely: eyes have a wide range of structures and forms, all of which have evolved quite late relative to the underlying proteins and molecules.

The sense of smell may have been a contributing factor in selection of color vision. One controversial study suggests that the loss of olfactory receptor genes coincided with the evolved trait of full trichromatic vision; [24] this study has been challenged, and two of the authors retracted it.

The gene-centered view of evolution, gene's eye view, gene selection theory, or selfish gene theory holds that adaptive evolution occurs through the differential survival of competing genes, increasing the allele frequency of those alleles whose phenotypic trait effects successfully promote their own propagation.
Researchers studying the opsin genes responsible for color-vision pigments have long known that four photopigment opsins exist in birds, reptiles and teleost fish. [3] This indicates that the common ancestor of amphibians and amniotes (≈350 million years ago) had tetrachromatic vision — the ability to see four dimensions of color.
Along with his brother Julian, a Beverly Hills ophthalmologist, and cinematographer Friend Baker, he developed the Natural Vision 3D film system in 1951, [3] attracting the attentions of Arch Oboler who used it in his film Bwana Devil. [2] Although the film was a critical disaster, it was an enormous commercial success.
The collaboration is a natural choice, since she's been open about her love for the coffee brand (and a Pennsylvania Dunkin' location showed support for her family too, honoring Jason's career ...
According to the Snake Detection Hypothesis, venomous and life-threatening snakes, including asp vipers, were crucial for the evolution of primates' visual systems.. The snake detection theory, [1] [2] [3] also sometimes called the snake detection hypothesis, suggests that snakes have contributed to the evolution of primates' visual system.
The Possum Pie is the Natural State's signature dessert with an animal in its name but not in the ingredients. Fox News Digital spoke to an Arkansas baker who describes what's actually in it.
