Another subject that remains unanswered by evolutionary
theory is the excellent quality of perception in the eye and the

spot at the back of the brain, the "center of vision." These elec-
tric signals are perceived in this center as an image after a series
of processes. With this technical background, let us do some
thinking.
The brain is insulated from light. That means that its in-
side is completely dark, and that no light reaches the place
