Eye evolution
Vertebrates and octopi developed the camera eye independently. In the vertebrate version the nerve fibers pass in front of the retina, and there is a blind spot (4) where the nerves pass through the retina. In the octopus version, the eye is constructed the "right way out," with the nerves attached to the rear of the retina. This means that octopi do not have a blind spot.
