Vision: the evolution of change detection
Abstract
New evidence suggests that the human visual system incorporates a high-level, functionally specialised system for monitoring animals. Such a mechanism may have evolved to direct attention differentially to ancestrally important categories of objects, regardless of their current relevance.
