“Eyes of bonobos decline after the age of forty,’ – NU.nl

The monkeys keep as they get older more and more away from their counterparts in the fleas. That is probably because they are from there not more to be able to see.

this is the conclusion of Japanese researchers in the scientific journal Current Biology.

The scientists came to their findings by taking photos of vlooiende bonobos in the Congo. On the images they studied the vlooi-distance that the monkeys in eight names.

Distance

The older bonobos bleaching their arms with the chores, much further to stretch than their younger counterparts. The older the monkey, the more distance they take, according to the study.

“We discovered that wild bonobos around their fortieth, the first signs of hyperopia show,” explains lead researcher Heungjin Ryu on news site Phys.org. “The results were very surprising. When the research began, I had not expected that age is a strong predictor of hyperopia.”

People

The study suggests that farsightedness in people is not caused by modern activities such as staring at computer screens and reading books. Probably had our ape-like ancestors also already suffer from the condition.
