The history of colour

Modern ideas of colour sense say that it developed basically as a way of telling the good berries from the bad in our hunter/gatherer past. However, I have learned from Qi that the ancient Greeks had a very under-developed cultural colour sense, so either we have a drastic drop and regaining of colour sense in the past, or the current theory is wrong.

PS - I have not been able to back up the Qi claim with my quick research.
PPS - One group of people, of course, does not present a break across the whole human race's history.
