Firstly, I don’t have a problem with the idea that generations of tiny brains can improve on the skills of the original tiny brains, and that the compound eye might have started out from simpler forms and improved once the cell communities had realized that there were advantages to having multiple fields of vision. But my main concern is the usual one: why on Earth would your God have specially designed the strategy and the organ when all he really wanted to do was create humans? See the “goldylocks” and “asteroid” threads for the implications.
