Unlocking the Eyes | Explorer

what boggles my mind about the eye is
everything but I’m really really excited
by the advances and technology made
possible by research not just into the
eye but into how natural selection
caused it to be what it is the next few
decades are going to be really exciting
ones for eye research eyes and survival
are related because survival is all
about the relationship between a
creature and everything else the outside
world predators prey potential mates the
eye is one of the most complex conduits
between those two things the outside
world and the creature who knots not
only wants to survive but once it’s kids
to survive its species to survive the
animal I that I love the most
goat eyes I mean as soon as you hear for
the first time about the rectangular
shape of their pupil you go yeah I don’t
believe it or it’s not going to be as
cool as it really is but then you look
it up and you’re like come on goats but
it’s true very very evolutionarily
helpful – goats it’s important to learn
about how other eyes work because well
one just the joy of learning new things
about the world but – we can learn more
about how to take things into our
control right nature has done a lot to
help us evolve eyes that work for us
other animals it’s done the same but
what comes next
should we see more can we see more and
the ways those are going to help the
quality of our lives and the quantity of
each of our lives is really fascinating
