Abstract
There is now considerable information from behavioural, electro-physiological and microspectrophotometric studies, concerning the forms of colour vision in primates, and the spectral location of the underlying visual pigments. These investigations give some insight into the evolution of colour vision in the primates, from dichromacy to trichromacy, and this has been amplified by the recent analysis of the molecular genetics of human colour vision (Nathans et al., 1986). However, there are no published results relating to the molecular genetics of either Old World or New World monkeys, and a number of questions still remain concerning the number and spectral location of visual pigments in man, both in normal observers and in anomalous trichromats.
