Now, if apes do see in color, then this is just another example of Buttmunker being a "monkey's uncle."
Dogs can see in color similar to a color blind human. They have trouble differentiating green and red.

If scientists don't understand why, then how can "we" believe them?

Is it the same thing with milk and red meat being bad for you, then they change their mind, then they change their mind again, and again, and again...
