The chicken/egg nature of the evolution of vision and natural beauty is so fascinating to me. “Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder. It arises because of that eye”

I am SO impressed. I’ve only gotten through the first chapter because I’m breathing in every word. I love when science meets empathy meets unbelievable prose.

Like the supernatural, so exists infinite realities unseen by humans.
I can’t wait to read more!!!
