How certain are we that the visual configuration of those ~5% males aren't an intermediary step towards better human sight, a benign mutation? They might even have better sight than us normies already only we haven't the technology yet to take advantage of it. Given the right glasses maybe they can see to Mars. Or maybe once we live on Mars, they are the ones with the better eye sight and we are considered the ones with a flaw.
- danieltillett 7y agoVery. Colour vision defects are not something you really want to have.
- misterman0 7y agoI know many who have them and know they are crippling but in another type of world where our colors aren't as important, would these defects still be a handicap? Or have we manufactured a society that cripple those with a certain gene combination? Edit: spelling
- danieltillett 7y agoActually modern society protects those that have colour vision defects much more than societies of the past. In the past if your vision wasn't perfect you tended to die, now days you can be completely blind and live a long life. Colour vision is not much help under low light conditions which is the reason our distant shrew-like ancestors lost their colour vision in the first place.
- misterman0 7y ago>> Colour vision is not much help under low light conditions which is the reason our distant shrew-like ancestors lost their colour vision in the first place. You seem to have authority, clearly, but doesn't your statement very precisely support my claim that we are now living in a society that dis-favor the color-blind? Our ancestors lost their ability to distinguish colors but now (all of a sudden) color seems very important. So we have in fact started, very recently, to select for non-color blindness. No?
