A certain lineage of primates experienced a mutation that shifted slightly one of the color receptors and evolved a weak version of trichromatic vision. Humans are part of that lineage.

What was the mechanism for this miraculous mutation that effected all subsequent primates? What was the mutagenic agent that caused this specific mutation? Care to speculate?

Do you believe mutations are miracles?
