  • There’s a tribe in Namibia that has no distinction between green and blue.

    Studies on the Himba of Namibia illustrate this phenomenon: their language does not distinguish blue from green in the way Western languages do. Yet, they perceive subtle variations of green that most Westerners struggle to differentiate. This variability in perception suggests that language acts as a filter, shaping what we are capable of seeing.
