Quote:LOL, no better than they already can - they're not actually blind....to be able to see "better" would take some changes. It's not an issue of not using their eyes - they do, their eyes are chronically underdeveloped and their genetics do not promote said developement - and lets be honest, living at night is awfully conducive to well developed eyes (the "night-time environment" does "foster it")...I'm sure we can both think of a couple mammals with wonderful night-vision....They'd be able to see *much* better if they were not nocturnal and living in caves. I'm not claiming that their night-vision would improve greatly - it wouldn't, nor am I claiming they'd be able to see as well as certain other mammals. Their brains - our brains - all brains get wired for processing eyesight as the animal develops and learns. Our brains are learning organisms that wire themselves accordingly.
Cats, for instance, can see very well at night - yet they can't digest their own fur! This is another example of that lingering "panda principle", all cats swallow their own fur, so why can't they digest the fur?

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
