Is a evolutionary biologist whose thoughts show a methodic and deeply understood explanation for the circumstance humankind has found itself within. My favorite were ideas that involved how we adapted to this realm of middle existence and the visual language that has developed from it with the utilization of a system of color.
The fact that two objects comprised mainly of space do have the capability to merge or intersect with one another would baffle our minds and make our would nonsensical. In order to correct for this our minds have created visual solidity which is the main component of the our middle plane.
He has suggested that bats, dog and rhinos, as well as humans may have similar visual color coding system that are used to interpret different phenomena. Bats use echo, sound waves, to see and it is plausible that in order for them to differentiate between textures that they would be separated into hues. A dog or rhino ,are smell sensitive animals, that may identify certain scent by means of a visual code in order to simply compute their world. Finally, for humans, we have introduced color as a visual sign system for waves. In order to distinguish between the long and short of them. Meaning that a long wave is not truly red; it is that we see it in red to differentiate it from the others.
The suggestions he makes are answers to many fundamental questions of why we see things in a different way from how they actually are. Dawkins wonders if introduced by means of a video-game that suggests alternatives to a child's brain, if it would be possible to change their visual code so that they would evolve to view this world in completely altered and more truistic ways. I think this is something to think about.
