Color Vision Theories
Do you believe that the fear of snakes drove primate evolution?
There is a new theory out suggesting that the fear of snakes triggered the development of improved vision and larger brains in primates. The theory suggests that snakes and primates share a long history.
Primates vision evolved to be able to detect and avoid snakes before they could strike them. They developed a better eye for color, detail and movement and the ability to see in three dimensions – traits that are important for detecting threats at close range.
We descended from those primates in this theory.
Do you believe that snakes helped drive primate evolution?
They do speak of other species, including larger mammals that we had to worry about but they say snakes had primarily helped influence our close range sight because it was so hard to detect them.
You can find an article about it on news.yahoo.com
I believe that primate or any evolution is the product of many things, not one primary reason. Environmental pressures of any kind, including but not limited to: predators, habitat, conditions (ie. weather, temperature, soil) could all be contributing factors. So to answer the question directly, I believe that it is certainly possible that snakes could have influenced primate evolution, but are not solely responsible for where evolution has taken the species since then.

On Vision and Colors $20.98 During the first two decades of the nineteenth century, two of the most significant theoretical works on color since Leonardo da Vinci’s Trattato della Pittura were written and published in Germany: Arthur Schopenhauer’s On Vision and Colors and Philipp Otto Runge’s Color Sphere. For Schopenhauer, vision is wholly subjective in nature and characterized by processes that cross over into the territory of philosophy. Runge’s Color Sphere and essay ‘The Duality of Color’ contained one of the first attempts to depict a comprehensive and harmonious color system in three dimensions. Runge intended his color sphere to be understood not as a product of art, but rather as a ‘mathematical figure of various philosophical reflections.’ By bringing these two visionary color theories together within a broad theoretical context-philosophy, art, architecture, and design-this volume uncovers their enduring influence on our own perception of color and the visual world around us. |

Theories of Vision from Al-Kindi to Kepler $21.48 Kepler’s successful solution to the problem of vision early in the seventeenth century was a theoretical triumph as significant as many of the more celebrated developments of the scientific revolution. Yet the full import of Kepler’s arguments can be grasped only when they are viewed against the background of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance visual theory. David C. Lindberg provides this background, and in doing so he fills the gap in historical scholarship and constructs a model for tracing the development of scientific ideas. David C. Lindberg is professor and chairman of the department of the history of science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. |
