Hi Alea....


If you look at both Homo Erectus and Neanderthal
man both have large eye sockets and therefore
larger eyes....often quoted as better for night
vision.There's one night monkey whose eyes
are almost bigger than it's skull....

I was just posing the question why would a hunter
have a better chance of survival if it evolved
with a much poorer night vision,and massively physcially weaker body?

I was just wondering if nature could show
other hunter species that had also evolved in
that way....no sources i'm afraid.....but you know anyways i believe in the intervention theory of man.
