Could Our Eyes Really Have Evolved? Absolutely, and Here’s How

Needless to say, this is a horrible argument for “irreducible complexity” since there are great explanations out there for how our eyes developed.

In a neat video produced by optical lenses distributor Essilor and narrated by science communicator Alom Shaha, we learn about the evolution of the eye through some nifty animation:
