dream of: The trilobite eye, which exhibits
a flawless creation.
Amazing 530-Million-Year-Old
Eyes
Large or small, just about every ani-
mal swimming in the sea, flying in the air
or living on the land has been equipped
with eyes. It comes as no surprise that a ti-
ny fly or a crab has eyes letting it perceive
its surroundings.
Yet the discovery of eyes on an arthro-
pod 530 million years old is an extraordina-
ry state of affairs that is difficult for evolu-
tionists to believe. The eye, described by
The trilobite, the oldest jointed-legged member of
the phylum Arthropoda, resembles present-day or-
ganisms in many respects. They share their jointed
legs and segmented bodies with beetles, shelled or-
ganisms, spiders and centipedes. In terms of com-
plexity, the trilobite is the equal of living things to-
day, and its eye structure is actually superior to that
in some.
