Is this at all related to why the part of the brain that does visual processioning is way in the back? Or is that a dumb question

    Not a dumb question. I think it's because the Occipital lobe is an evolutionary old part of the brain. It's right on top of the brain stem the oldest part.

    The newer parts developed between the eyes and the older parts of the brain. Pushing the eyes forward. That's my understanding but I might be wrong.

    Hopefully if I am wrong someone jumps in and provides a correction.
