This depends on a few factors. First, how dark it is. Second, how good a person's vision is. Third, how distant and object is from the shadow it is casting. (The closer an object is to its shadow, the more discernible its shadow is.) All shadows are caused by light. In total darkness, everything is shadowed, which you could interpret to mean that we see total shadow, or no shadow at all since there is no specifically discernible shadow being cast. When it is just dark out, it is possible for humans to discern shadows if their vision is strong enough and there is enough of a light source present. It just depends on the individual and the amount of light present. People who are night blind or have other vision problems have more trouble discerning shadows in dark places. Being in total darkness does not prevent our eyes from seeing, it simply prevent our eyes from seeing anything useful.
