This is a lovely Quanta article about how mammals had to survive by being nocturnal, and how the eyes once adjusted for dark condidtions could not evolve back to being used in daylight:

Now what would be darn nifty would be replacing the somewhat deficient mammalian optical system with something like the avian system. Would that it were so simple to splice a few genes over...
I loved this article on so many levels, although I need a bit of a run up to get the hang of hyperuniformity (which I think is the same as random matricies)
