We aren't prey. We are hunters. To grow our brains bigger we had to trade other organ systems- in order to keep or BMI (body mass index) constant- so we traded our ancestors longer gut- adapted for vegetation- for a predators gut, adapted for meat. It's a very cool story, and I like it a lot. Makes a lot more sense than some guy floating in the clouds. You might like The Wisdom of the Bones. The eye thing isn't in there. But a predator mostly needs to see straight ahead, for tracking prey. Think about raptors, and felines, and canines- you just wouldn't use those eyes in the back of your head enough to make them a viable trade off. Plus I think there might be some real construction issues- when I think about the stability and structure of the skull. I don't know whether things can be other than they are or not. We are probably in flux even now.
