  1. A remarkable book about our senses
    gisela keffel, 14 maj 2024

    -how did they evolve and what for
    - in humans and animals
    -if one sense is superior to another, often an organism has to cope with a sense which is less developed in another part of an organ. Example: fast flight,- slow walk
    - to study senses in animals and humans is fascinating and amazing
    - there are lots of questions, but the more we find out, the more questions appear..........
