Evolution's Witness: How Eyes Evolved, Ivan R. Schwab, Richard R.

Dubielzig, Charles Schobert,

Oxford University Press, 2012, 0195369742, 9780195369748, 306 pages. With predation and
carnivory as catalysts, the first known eye appeared in a trilobite during the Cambrian explosion
approximately 543 million years ago. This period was a crucible of evolution and teemed with
anatomic creativity although the journey to formed vision actually began billions of years before that.
The Cambrian period, however, spawned nearly all morphologic forms of the eye, followed by
descent over hundreds of millions of years providing an unimaginable variety of eyes with at least
ten different designs. Some eyes display spectacular creativity with mirror, scanning or telephoto
optics. Some of these ocular designs are merely curiosities, while others offer the finest visual
potential packed into a small space, limited only by the laws of diffraction or physiological optics. For
example, some spiders developed tiny, well-formed eyes with scanning optics and three visual
pigments; scallops have 40-100 eyes circling their mantle, each of which has mirror optics and
contains two separate retinae per eye; deep ocean fish have eyes shaped like tubes containing
yellow lenses to break camouflage; and some birds have vision five times better than ours; but this
is only part of the story. Each animal alive today has an eye that fits is niche perfectly demonstrating
the intimacy of the evolutionary process as no other organ could. The evolution of the eye is one of
the best examples of Darwinian principles. Although few eyes fossilize in any significant manner,
many details of this evolution are known and understood. From initial photoreception 3.75 billion
years ago to early spatial recognition in the first cupped eyespot in Euglena to fully formed camera
style eyes the size of beach balls in ichthyosaurs, animals have processed light to compete and
survive in their respective niches. It is evolution's greatest gift and its greatest triumph. This is the
story of the evolution of the eye..
