Good point. ...Reminds me of the book I'm just reading - Dawkins "The Greatest Show on Earth" where he mentions a Russian scientist taming wild foxes over several generations. Evidently the gene that determines tameness also determines various other body features. So for instance the tame foxes had droopy ears instead of the usual stiff upright ears and particular color patches and other features that would seem to have nothing to do with tameness (they didn't look like foxes anymore, but more like classic lapdogs). They have a name for this effect which I can't remember now, but it is evidently a common occurrence for a gene to affect more than one function. Maybe something similar is happening here - the gene that gives you color blindness also gives you a heightened desire to work with visual things, or vice versa?.

. Maybe both are sourced in a basic cognitive demand for problem solving that just so happens to come along for the ride with color blindness, or vice versa.
