The Influence of Evolution on Subjective Representations of Objective Reality

Our subjective perception of reality is dictated by the functionality of our sense organs and the architecture of our brains. However both of these factors have themselves been determined, through the mechanism of evolution, by the objective reality which they represent to us. Those beings over the course of time whose sense organs and neural architecture resulted in the most accurate subjective representations of objective reality would have a distinct competitive advantage over others and so would succeed to pass these traits down to their descendants.
