As animals ventured out into the grasslands, visual acuity was selected for because the viewing distances expanded.
As visual acuity improved, camouflage was selected for very strongly to allow animals to hide from the increasingly visually seeking predators.

All non-camouflaged civilizations will be picked off by those who are camouflaged until the universe is quiet.
