\startuserdata [epigraph] [author={Sean B. Carrol}]
    The fraction of fossil olfactory receptor genes is significantly higher in
    all species with full color vision. This suggests that the evolution of
    trichromatic vision --- which allows these primates to detect food, mates,
    and danger with visual cues --- has reduced their reliance on the sense of
    smell.
