Unlike other primates, human beings have eyes with a distinct colour contrast between the white sclera, the coloured iris, and the black pupil. This is due to a lack of pigment in the sclera. first linkOther primates have pigmented sclera that are brown or dark in colour. There is also a higher contrast between human skin, sclera, and irises. Human eyes are also larger in proportion to body size, and are longer horizontally. Among primates, humans are the only ones where the outline of the eye and the position of the iris can be clearly seen.

The cooperative eye hypothesis was tested at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. Researchers examined the effect of head and eye movement second link on changing gaze direction in humans and great apes. A human experimenter, observed by either a human infant, a gorilla, a bonobo, or a chimpanzee, did one of four actions:

The cooperative eye hypothesis is only one theory that has been proposed to explain the appearance of the human eye. Other hypotheses include the proposal that white sclera are a sign of good health, useful in mate selection, or that eye visibility promotes altruistic behaviour by last linkletting people know they are being watched. The Planck institute study noted that "these hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, and highly visible eyes may serve all of these functions.

William's reign was short, but eventful. The ascendancy of the House of Commons and the corresponding decline of the House of Lords were marked by the Reform Crisis, during which the threat of flooding the Upper House with peers was used effectively for the first time by a ministry. The weakening of the House of Lords first ambiguous continued during the nineteenth century, and culminated during the twentieth century with the passage of the Parliament Act 1911. The same threat which had been used during the Reform Crisis—the threat to flood the House of Lords by creating several new peers—was used to procure its passage.

uring his reign great reforms were enacted by Parliament including the Factory Act, preventing child labour, the Abolition Act, emancipating slaves in the colonies, and the Poor Law, standardising provision for the destitute.[14] He attracted criticism from reformers, who felt that reform did not go far enough, second ambiguous and from reactionaries, who felt that reform went too far. The modern interpretation is that he failed to satisfy either political extreme by trying to find compromise between two bitterly opposed factions, but in the process proved himself more capable as a constitutional monarch than many had supposed.
