    ——— SUMMARY ———

    A word for the color blue wasn't always around. Written in 750 BC, Homer's Odyssey does not contain the word for blue. Perhaps because Blue is rare in the animal kingdom. So often it's just a trick of light in the natural world.

    Perhaps because it was so incredibly difficult for humans to create a blue artificial pigment? Only when we finally could create blue did we give it a name.

    So what did we see before we saw Blue? And what else does Nature teach us about the rules of language that guide how we perceive the natural world?
