So says a blogger by the name of Psi Wave-function regarding an eye-like structure of some protists called the ocelloid. She wrote this in a now-defunct blog eponymously called The Ocelloid (bit.ly/1H95b40). I couldn’t agree with her more. The ocelloid is the structural and functional equivalent of the sophisticated eye of metazoans—and occurs in an unicellular organism! If you can think of anything that is “awesomer” than that, please let me know.
