There is a study posted in Science News about monkeys being able to see color. The study showed that it was possible to inject a strand of the virus that constructs eye color into the monkeys eye and within a short time it could see color. The discovery is very fascinating. The study demonstrates the movement of our technology and how we are applying it today. The experiment was actually expected to not work. The monkeys were able to distinguish between yellow, green, blue, and red through color tests. The project is hopeful, but has yet to be demonstrated on humans. The Science News said the experiment was arousing many vision experts and that it might possibly help explain the evolving of color vision in time.
