Perception concerns the identification, interpretation and organisation of sensory information in order to represent, understand the environment.
Animal species generate perception according to their body structure. For instance, it is expected for a crocodile to perceive a chair differently from a human because these species present different body structures. A chair suggests the action of setting for most humans (since humans have a flexible torso and hip joints), a crocodile will probably not notice it or destroy it with is sharp teeth.
For example, Mars gravity is one third of gravity on earth. Possibly, we will develop more elongated bodies, beyond other biological changes while exposed to Mars biosphere that will change our perception of the surrounding environment. Biological modifications such as exaptation processes - new organs - and thus, new sensory skills.
Hence, we may create new ways to understand environmental/universal properties. This is a new theory under the authorship of Marta Ferraz.
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF HUMAN REPRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT IN SPACE
Early HumAn DEvElopmEnt to drivE spacE Adaptation
Major biological changes happen during early human development, from embryogenesis to childhood. Structural and functional. A phenomena known as plasticity, or, the ability of a genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to different environments.
Because plasticity is more prominent in early development, it may be that key adaptations to space environments also occur at this stage, generating adjustments in the human phenotype across generations – novel traits - and thus increasing survival and reproductive success in such environments.
Trait variability is the leading edge of evolution, linked in most cases to genetic change and speciation.
