why do humans have much better eyesight than most of the animal kingdom?
because they wear glasses
>>17085147so we just need to put glasses on all the animals to fix them?
What gave you that idea? Our eyes are worse than much of the animal kingdom.
>>17085505Many animals are very short sighted. Only certain predators have better eyesight than Man
because human ancestors developed in vastly differnt biomes and biological niche, from treetops to forest floors, then pairie/savana, then icecover tundra, etc
>>17085135More developed brain = better sensory processing.>>17085505This is kinda a common myth brought about by confirmation bias. Most animals actually have quite poor eyesight relative to humans. The handful of exceptions get highlighted for being, well, exceptional and that makes it easy for people to project that on the rest of the animal kingdom.
they don't.humans don't even have color vision.humans see colors, they seem to believe they have names for colors even, but they don't comprehend color correctly anymore because of the invention of painting and artistry. colors are now arbitrary to and from human expression and absent indicatives of what any color does and their functions in natural reality.light blue is the color of the sky and of pools and wonderful clear glacial lakes and of a flame. Colorism as a form of categorization is not arbitrary. Tending away from black is an existentialism.
>>17085135It's the other way round, our eyesight probably made us human. We evolved our huge brains primarily to process all the data and the rest is a side effect. >>17085147>>17085503>>17085531Glasses don't improve healthy eyes. Animal are not normally short sighted. >>17085505>>17085633Our eyesight is unmached. Few animals can compare. Even tge ostrich with its huge eyes sees supposedly in about one third of human resolution. Very few birds may be able to see slightly better, but possibly only with the aid of UV light, and for objects with excellent contrast, which makes their ultrasharp eyesight limited by weather and it only works for stuff that naturally stands out.
>>17085638you have no scientifically or otherwise proveable way of affirming any statement about how anything envisions anything else. You see through your own eyes, not general human eyes, and certainly not through animal eyes.Without a shadow of doubt, it is a determinable truth here and now that you cannot honestly claim humans having better vision than animals, and there exists no method available to you to determine otherwise for your own eyes are the only eyes you know.
>>17085505no, they're not, you are a retard.
>>17085633>they don'tthey do, you are a fucking retard, human eyesight is significantly better than most of the animal kingdom>humans don't even have color visionwe have better color vision than most of the animal kingdom.
>>17085640you are a fucking moron and are wrong, stop embarrassing yourself.
>>17085661>>17085662are you a literal retard who can't determine the difference between your own sensory qualia and literal untestable heresay? are you a dumb fucking nigger?
>>17085665>untestable heresayactually the distances at which different eyes can resolve the same object are quite well defined, you are delusional and think otherwise because you have a low IQ.
>>17085640>>17085665I can't comprehend how a living person can't understand that you can test and compare eyesight.

>>17085788>provides no evidence
>>17085135If you said this at literally any time before in human history this would be correct. But in the modern day the average person needs glasses thanks to a lifetime of close up work and lack of outdoor activities. 20/20 vision is now the exception not the norm, lol. But to answer your question, human vision IN THEORY should be amazing since humans are predators and our main sensory organ for this was eyesight. Other related primates like chimps and bonobos also have similar eyesight to human eyesight so this goes way back in the evolutionary tree. But most people today are not hunters, farmers, or anything like that. 21st century man spends decades of their youth in schooling, then start working at a some mega corporation that doesn't give a shit about them in their 20s. Hence why Millennials and Gen Z is almost entirely nearsighted.
>>17086626You can see their little kid faces, when they are presumable young adult men. That is the real cause. The eyes keep growing, but the face doesn't, so the eyes don't fit properly in the eye socket.
>>17085135because our ancestors were swinging through trees so being able to judge distance well was important.a lot of the most important parts of our evolution are from our past arboreal lifestyle, like out very dexterous arms.
>>17085135"Much better" is subjective, you didn't qualify what you mean by this so we cannot answer, but also, we don't. For any measurement you'd say humans are best at with their eyes (color, range, distance, sharpness) other animals are better. In general predators have sharper vision because moving objects (food that moves) basically requires more refinement. The big thing in evolution with regard to this is the eyes in the front, bifocalism, as opposed to eyes on the sides or elsewhere, which is common.
>>17088656why dont mice have eyes on the top of their head
>>17088659Being small makes it easier to hide under tall plants and regular objects, also provides some agility in terms of changing direction. So although you might think of bird threats, that's not likely to happen in a forest, more influential threats are largely what is on the ground with them.
>>17088659They kind of do. I don't know how much more on top you'd want to put them.
>>17085640there is autopsy, optic laws, rods and cones, brain areals dedicated to sight, etc. all tested and experimented on. humans have a pretty good day sight. near, far and even in decent color.
>>17089055still not real or the data not determinable in the way you're thinking. You see through your own eyes alone.
>>17085135because it worked for humans>>17085630optic nerve does most of the job and it's not in the brain
>>17085505Worse than raptors and most fish and octupuses, but better than most other land animals.
>>17085640We can literally test for colorblindness you blithering retardIf everybody sees colors differently, then they all see colors differently in a way that is perfectly consistent with every other non-colorblind human being alive for some inexplicable reason.
