Hi Everyone,
An interesting article about LSD, the third eye, a brief mention of

Australia and its surrounding territory came to be explored, a flurry of
zoological interest centered upon a lizard native to the area, the tuatara
(Sphenodon punctatum). This animal possessed, in addition to two perfectly
ordinary eyes located on either side of its head, a third eye buried in the
skull which was revealed through an aperture in the bone, covered by a
transparent membrane, and surrounded by a rosette of scales. It was
unmistakably a third eye, but upon dissection it proved to be nonfunctional.
Though it still possessed the structure of a lens and retina, these were no
longer in good working order; also lacking were appropriate neural
connections to the brain. But the presence of this eye in the tuatara still
poses a puzzle to present-day evolutionists, for almost all vertebrates
possess a homologous structure in the center of their skulls. It is present
in many fish, all reptiles, birds, and mammals (including humans). No
functional role whatever could be imagined for this structure in humans, and
it remained merely an anatomical curiosity until 1898, when Otto Heubner, a
German physician, wrote a paper associating cancers of this organ with
instances of precocious puberty in children...."
