Thank you! That was exactly my intention using the Jonas narrative. I am glad it worked. The insight that eye evolution is really about the evolution of visually guided behaviour is Dr Nilsson’s. But I think this framing is a good way to illustrate how evolution really works, and what fittest means in “evolution of the fittest”, which is often misinterpreted.
