Vision, not limbs, led fish onto land 385 million years ago

Me preguntaba por qué casi todos los animales desarrollamos ojos en lugar de otros tipos de sentidos (térmicos, magnéticos, auditivos), capaz parte de la respuesta está al principio de todo: "The massive increase in visual capability enabled by vision in air likely allowed early-limbed animals to evolve more complex cognition. These animals were no longer forced to react with split-second speed as was required by life in the vision-limiting water. Eventually, the researchers said, evolution led to the human capability of prospective cognition: the power to weigh options for the future and to choose strategically."
