Ojos evolucionando.

Via The Loom.

El paleontologo Niles Eldrige famoso por su teoria del equilibrio puntuado formulada junto a S.J. Gould, ha fundado con su hijo Greg una revista de libre acceso (solo durante el año 2008): Evolution and Outreach para promover la educacion cientifica de la biologia y asi evitar malas concepciones, controversias infundadas etc.

En una edicion especial publicada en octubre el tema era la evolucion de los ojos.
