can you source this kind of stuff for me, doma?

the point is for us to have a chance to get educated. i see what you are saying. i'd like to read up on it.

you have had a different read on evolution to me previously. as if it is an arrow aiming towards perfection rather than a set of random adaptations that nature discovers the competitive advantages of.

maybe our eyes are designed with the opposite sex in mind. bulgy eyes don't get laid.

if nature thinks our eyes are well adapted to the environments we inhabit, then they are probably well adapted. but that doesn't mean we get eagle eyes or night vision goggles.

do you have the sense that homo sapiens is an inferior sort of predator? i think unfortunately we are a bit too good at killing things.

What other hunter/predator types evolved from
their ancestors with much smaller eye sockets
and crappy night vision apart from the human?
