Thread Conclusion:
Even though the purpose of this thread was just for me to test the waters and learn the format of this site, I hope the exchange illustrated that there is more to the evolution of vision than eyes. Along the way we touched on topics such as the explanatory role of theories and how testable hypotheses are deduced from them. I submit this thread as my introduction.
A few members are under the impression that evolution helps bind together every field pertaining to biological organisms. As such, next week I'll talk about why it fails at properly explaining animal behavior and cognition. A few members are knowledgeable in psychology an neuroscience, so it should be a worthwhile discussion. I look forward to that thread.
In the meantime, I hope everybody has nice weekend.
