The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- According to the theory, predatory pressure on early primate populations from snakes selected individuals who were best able to recognize them, improving their survival chances and therefore transferring such skill to their offspring.
- From this point of view, snakes were responsible for the modification and expansion of primate visual systems which made vision the most developed sensory interface with the external environment for modern primates.
- In her book The Fruit, the Tree, and the Serpent, anthropologist Lynne Isbell writes that snakes evolved to be difficult to detect and mortally dangerous.
