“The human brain—like the brains of all vertebrates—is hardwired to
immediately notice sudden movement in our field of vision.
We not only notice, we are compelled to look. When our
evolutionary predecessors gathered on the African savanna three million years ago and the leaves next to them moved, the
ones who didn’t look are not our ancestors.”
-Al Gore
