And I love eyes, even though my eyes are terrible.

Where did our eyes come from?

You know, I'm talking about our ancestors.

You know, the goopy, sloopy, slimy, swimming kind of things in the ocean.

There's a lot of mammals.

There's a lot of creatures with eyes that share a common ancestor.

That common ancestor would have evolved an eye.

My understanding, it was some organ that would have been slightly sensitive to light.

And then over time, you get a lens.

And over time, blah, blah, blah, you get an eye.

But where would that eye have been?

Like plankton or something like that?

Or some plankton analog?

Is the major takeaway here that if I get a zit between my eyes and everyone makes fun of me, I can just say I'm getting back with my ancestral roots?

Is that a major takeaway for most people?

Well, Jesse, as ever, it has been a joy having you on the show.

Moon stuff, you're very excited about it.

I hope to have you back soon.

Yeah, let's talk more moon stuff in the future.

All right, we're going to the moon.
