Considering the variety of animals that seem to show this behavior, isn't it possible that mammals, specifically humans, are "encoded" with that same random search pattern? I'm not sure how you'd test for it though.

I'm intrigued.
That is fascinating. Thanks for that.
> However, one could argue, from an evolutionary standpoint, that spe-ciÿc search mechanisms could have been learned and “wired” in order to improve theexploration eciency (e.g., if a salient point is located within a direct vision distance,maximize the probability of straightforwardly moving to that site)
