Most mammals are dichromats, and according to the standard account of the evolution of primate trichromacy, around thirty million years ago gene duplication transformed the single longer-wavelength photopigment of our dichromatic ancestors into two, our current L- and M- photopigments. (For reviews see Jacobs and Rowe 2004 and Surridge et al. 2003.) This added a new red-green opponent channel to the existing yellow-blue channel. On the Reduction View, human red-green dichromacy can accordingly be thought of as something of an atavistic glimpse of our distant evolutionary history. If misperception is widespread among human red-green dichromats, then presumably it also is among the many dichromatic mammals who share versions of the ancient yellow-blue system of color vision.
