Acute binocular vision is a defining character of modern primates and is central to recent hypotheses for primate origins, most notably the visual predation hypothesis (Cartmill, 1972; Sussman ...

Binocular vision gives us depth perception—and enables us to play some tricks By Diane Rogers-Ramachandran & Vilayanur S. Ramachandran ALL PRIMATES, including humans, have two eyes facing forward.

Scientists are still trying to figure out why primates have excellent vision. langur monkey photo courtesy of flickr user Troup Dresser We humans aren’t alone in our aversion to snakes. Our ...

Primates process visual information in front of their eyes, similar to pixels in a digital camera, using small computing units located in the visual cortex of their brains. In order to understand ...

And the primate species, of course, incorporates humans, ... binocular vision and ability to grasp and manipulate objects between their four digits and opposable thumb. ...

Over time, perhaps as primates came to occupy more diurnal niches with lots of light to see, we somehow evolved to be less reliant on smell and more reliant on vision.

Primates’ eyes view scenes like a seamless patchwork quilt, a study appearing online April 7 in PLoS Biology shows. This underappreciated visual coordination may contribute to why primates ...

Primates may have evolved color vision not to find the ripest, tastiest fruit but to detect that tell-tale blush on someone else's rump, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
