Man's primate ancestors began to see in color millions of years ago. South American Monkeys can not see colors as well as African Monkeys. Our ancestors came from Africa. So, our present color vision evolved sometime after 50 million years ago when South America split from Africa. There was a time about 25 million years ago when Madagascar reattached to Africa. The lemurs of Madagascar are primates and came from Africa and have good color vision. So, man gained his present color vision between 50 and 25 million years ago.

Who was the first person to shout out the word?

Answer is MAN 2Reason:Man 1 can see man 2 and man 3 but is not able to tell what color hat he wears because man 2 and man 3 wear different color hats. So man 1will not shout out. Then from man 1's reaction, man 2 is able to tell that he (man 2) and man 3 wear different color hats. Since man 3 wears black color hat, so man 2 knows he himself wears white color hat.Man 3 and man 4 are not able to tell what color hats they wear since they can see none of the others.Ankit K
