Evolution of the eye Rate Topic: -----

Organism
The best eye I have heard of is the eye of the Mantis Shrimp. We have only 3 colour receptors in our eyes, they have 16 and can even see the differences in circularly polarised light (afaik no other animal can do this).

Compared to these guys, the human eye is severely underdeveloped.
This sentance you are now reading is false...
