Can Microbes See Without Eyes?

The video explores how different organisms process light, from the complex visual systems in humans to the simpler mechanisms in microbes. It discusses the role of phytochromes in cyanobacteria, photophobic responses in certain microbes, and the unique structure of Euglena's eye spot. The evolution of eyes is examined, highlighting the gradual changes leading to complex visual systems. The video emphasizes that evolution is not directed towards humans but has led to diverse adaptations across species.
