Summary
The eye is one of the most remarkable achievements of evolution, and has evolved up to 40 times in different parts of the animal kingdom. In humans, vision is the most important sense, and much of the brain is given over to the processing of visual information. This book describes the evolution of vision and the variety of eyes found in both humans and animals.
