Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)
#62
RE: Vision and Evolution (A Critique of Dawkins)
John 6IX Breezy:

" An eye that evolves through the stages presented by Dawkins, without simultaneously evolving the neural accessories for processing that information, and the behavioral capacity to make use of that information, should not be able to experience the types of selective pressures that allows for its evolution.

In other words, Dawkins' narrative (which I believe he recounts in one of his books) focuses on the sense organ exclusively, as if it evolved in isolation. My concern is that the narrative is too simple, to the point of being misinforming."

Why do the changes between the eye and the neural network have to co-evolve simultaneously to bestow an advantage?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
