Why Ancient People Didn't See the Color Blue
Here's a philosophical question for you. If a color doesn't have a name, can we still see it?
Many years ago, the human eye evolved to give us the ability to see about a million colors.
That's a lot.
Then how come, until very recently, nobody saw or even heard of the color blue?
Well, it's because blue just -- didn't exist yet.
Let's find out why.
