Rand Simberg pointed me to this article about In the Blink of an Eye, a book that expands on Dr. Andrew Parker’s contention that the appearance of the eye explains the Cambrian Explosion. I’m going to read the book and get back to you, but here are some good reviews….a Dutch biologist and another by a non-specialist. By a strange coincidence Creationists like to work the “design” of the eye and the Cambrian Explosion into their paradigms. I won’t be surprised if Intelligent Design Theorists or Theistic Evolutionists spy The Hand of the Creator in the genesis of the trilobite eye. The resultant evolutionary race that led to our species can surely be shoe-horned into some teleology.
