The Colour-Sense: Its Origin and Development, an Essay in Comparative Psychology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book traces the evolution of the human experience of color, from the earliest visual perception in half-formed reptiles to the complex sensory appreciation in advanced civilizations. The author argues that the existence of bright coloration in the world is almost entirely attributable to the influence of the color sense in the animal kingdom. The capacity to perceive and distinguish different colors has driven the evolution of spectacularly colored plants and animals, as well as the development of artistic expression in humans. This book offers a groundbreaking theory on the role of the color sense in shaping the natural world and human culture, with profound implications for our understanding of aesthetics and the history of life on Earth.
