7. BIO 240 Week 3 Learning Team Outline (UOP) BIO 240 Week 4 DQ 1 (UOP) • Submit a minimum of one page draft outline for your Learning Team’s projects. Refer to instructions on final assignment provided under Week 5 details to assist in your research. Any one team member may submit this to the Assignment link. • Consider the human eye, an exquisitely adapted organ that gives rise to stereo vision in full color (see, for instance, “The Evolution of Primate Color Vision” by Gerald H. Jacobs and Jeremy Nathans, Scientific American, April 2009 issue, pp. 56-63).Explain, strictly from within the framework of Darwinian evolution, how natural selection “crafted” such an organ.
