| dc.description.abstract | Many readers may know that scores of animal species sense the polarization of light for purposes including navigation, predation, and communication1. It is commonly thought that humans lack any sensitivity to polarization of light (e.g., Morehouse2). We hope to convince you otherwise by describing three examples where humans can detect polarization of light with the naked eye, by showing you how to see it yourself, and by describing its uses. | en_US |
