and it teaches a broader concept, that of adaptive traits. But it's something we teach kids in school because it's easy to understand with some examples most people are familiar with, like lions and deer. The guide is actually not a great guide, ther4 are many many exceptions because needing to hunt is only one reason to have forward facing eyes, and predator detection is only one reason to have eyes on the side of your head. Arboreal species or anything that leaps about, need to see distances in front of them and so generally have eyes pointed forwards. We actually evolved from an arboreal frugivore with eyes like ours. The truth is you look like a bald vegetation eating monkey because that's what we evolved from.Įdit: I put the orangutan photo in the probiscus link, coz I'm a silly monkey ![]() It's why you unironically get people talking about human canines as if they're a lion. The idea is so popular because people sort of want it to be true, they WANT to feel like big scary hunters. Here is another arboreal primate, not an ape this time, that doesn't hunt, but spends time in branches.įor the converse, look at sharks, look at many predatory dinosaurs, some crocs don't have binocular vision. They evolved from the same frugivorous species we did. Here is one of our 100% vegetarian relatives that doesn't hunt. We have forward facing eyes and sure we eat meat now, but we developed them when we were a primarily frugivorous species living in trees. Most arboreal species or subterranean species will also have forward facing eyes because scanning the sides doesn't help them as much as being able to see forward. This is spread in schools because its easy to understand, and helps get across the idea of adaptive traits, but there is a reason you usually see deer and tigers or similar animals in the exampels.Īnimals that leaps also needs forward facing eyes. Moderators are not experts in everything so we do not always moderate for accuracy, though there are often one or two people wearing their smarty pants in the comments. Lastly, always check the comments for guides. If you do we may remove some of your posts in the interest of keeping a wide array of topics. Please help keep the sub diverse by not saturating the sub with one topic. Many of you might have whole folders of guides, but they are all on similar topics. If you know the source of your guide, post it in the comments so people can know the true heros! This includes guides describing the creation of dangerous items/materials and/or guides that are designed with the purpose to harm or hurt others do not fit the culture of this sub and will be removed. ![]() Guides depicting harmful, dangerous, or destructive content will be removed.

If you have questions message us, if you think a post is not a good one downvote it.ġ. These are the considerations the mod team use when they feel it is appropriate to remove posts. Sometimes infographics can masquerade as how-to guides. If your guide is more of a visual essay than a structured table or list, then chances are that is an infographic. Flow charts and step-by-step guides are considered guides, so are visual references that line up different types of something next to one another other.Īn infographic is more educational in layout and content, finding something specific on an infographic is not as easy because it is designed to inform through more narrative structures. Guides are typically laid out in a grid configuration of some sort or sectioned into multiple tables by a category or step of a process. ![]() On top of that not all guides are created equal, many technically qualify as guides, but lack substance. If someone has to visually bop around your guide to find what they are looking for, the guide does not pass the layout test. The layout or structure of a guide must be that so, when someone is trying to find/reference information from the guide, they can do so logically or simply. It takes both content and layout to make something a guide. Guides are reference materials, how-tos, and/or comparison tables. For example, "A cool guide about identifying poison ivy", "A cool guide showing how to clean your house", or "A cool guide for painting your living room". To help keep things nice, searchable, and maintainable, all posts must be prefixed with "A cool guide".
