The researchers also found that Shuvuuia had a very wide scleral ring -- tiny bones that circle the eyeball.

Most of it is that white stuff called the sclera, while the most anterior part is the transparent cornea.

In 2010, a group of researchers looked at a sample of eye bones, called scleral rings.

One interesting byproduct is that humans have relatively large white sclera and nearly black pupils and a dark iris.

You don't see such prominent white sclera in any other primates, which means that the importance of nonverbal expressiveness and intent is especially important for human survival.

在其他灵长类动物中， 你看不到如此显著的白色巩膜，这意味着非语言表达和意图的重要性对于人类生存尤为关键。
