An old letter from Professor Albert Einstein might have just decoded interesting thoughts on animal senses even before empirical evidence was introduced to the world 7 decades later.
While Einstein is mostly famous for his expertise on Theoretical Physics than Biology, his letter dated 18th October 1949 to Mr. Glyn Davys in England referencing von Frisch s lecture on sensory perception led researchers to believe that he is quite competitive in other scientific fields as well.
The original letter from recipient, Davys, was unretrievable at this time, but Einstein s reply letter suggests ideas of animal perception which was not known at the time.
