About

The way the world is perceived by any species is dependent upon how sense organs and the nervous system interpret cues. The same world can appear very differently to other species. This lecture considers how the world is experienced by other animal species, and how and why the visual and auditory senses have taken over from smell during the course of mammalian evolution.
