A new article published today in Nature finds fossil evidence that fairly sophisticated eyes had evolved as early as 515 millions years ago, around the time known as the Cambrian explosion.
There were no fossil bodies found attached to the eyes, but the eyes probably belonged to a shrimp-like creature.

Any new evidence of evolution is a fantastic thing today what with creationism fanatics.
We are the product of evolution folks so please look at the evidence and make informed judgements.
