The Cyclops shark, a rare instance of cyclopia, is a developmental anomaly characterized by the formation of a single eye. This condition, while uncommon, highlights significant biological variations and parallels with similar defects observed in humans. The discussion emphasizes the grotesque nature of such anomalies and raises questions about the implications of cyclopia on brain functionality and perception.
PREREQUISITESMarine biologists, geneticists, and anyone interested in developmental anomalies and their implications in both marine and human contexts.
Cyclops shark
The Cyclops shark is an exception. While rare, "cyclopia" is a real developmental anomaly in which only one eye develops.
