Primes¶
- Convergent Evolution
- The multiple lineages are two deeply separate animal groups — vertebrates (the line leading to fish, mammals, and humans) and cephalopods (the line leading to octopuses and squid) — whose last common ancestor was a simple organism that possessed, at most, light-sensitive spots, not a focusing eye.
This sourceDocuments the independent evolution of the camera-type eye in vertebrates and cephalopods, the shared optical pressure, and the inverted-vs-everted retina that betrays separate origins.
Borderline supportVerified against the publisher's abstract
The book's abstract confirms coverage of eye evolution and taxonomic distribution, supporting the general frame but not the specific vertebrate/cephalopod retina differences.
“The book also covers the evolution and taxonomic distribution of each type of eye”
Two runs of the same check disagreed on this citation; the later verdict is shown and the citation is queued for review.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 borderline. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
