And speaking with maternal health specialists that we really pieced it together.
So I think it's the kind of thing where, yeah, you just you don't even really know necessarily all of the pieces of the puzzle.
And that's where it's a lot more questions for us to ask in the future.
So now they do. Okay. But, I mean, you can imagine goggles haven't been around that long. So at some point in the past, they didn't. And this was, you know, the study that first got me interested in this was a study done in Moken Children, where I think it was literally a researcher who was on vacation in Thailand studying
So now they do.

noticed these little kids diving for things and, you know, having this ability to see underwater and set up an experiment and had European children and Moken children diving to look at things underwater. And the Moken children had better eyesight underwater than the European children.

And the Moken children had better eyesight underwater than the European children.
Now, that same researcher, after publishing this paper, went back to Europe and trained European children to do the same thing, essentially, to perform at the same level as these Moken children. And so, you know, there was this kind of dismissal, like, oh, well, you can train Europeans to see underwater just as well, so it must not be evolved. It must not be genetic. It has to just be training.
