From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The eye is thought to be an adaptation.
A biological adaptation is an anatomical structure, physiological process or behavioral trait of an organism that has evolved over a period of time by the process of natural selection such that it increases the expected long-term reproductive success of the organism.
