Abstract
Evidence from molecular genetics bolsters the claim that color
is not a perceptuolinguistic and behavioral universal. Neurobiology
continues to fill in many details about the flow of color information
from photon reception to central processing in the brain. Humans
have the most acute color vision in the biosphere because of natural
selection and adaptation, not coincidence.
