  2. Evolution of the eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_eye

    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.

  3. Evolution of color vision in primates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_color_vision...

    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. [25]

  4. Gene-centered view of evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene-centered_view_of...

    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.

  5. Evolution of color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_color_vision

    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.

  8. Snake detection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Detection_Theory

    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.
