The correct answer is, “We don’t know son. You could become a paleo-biologist and be the one to figure it out!”
Isn’t evolution a constant process instead of happening in steps?
I think the question is how often it evolved independently like bird and bat wings evolved independently
That makes a lot more sense then. Thank you, happy to learn something new.
I forget where I saw this, but trees are kind of like crabs, in that they’ve convergently evolved many, many, many different times. Pretty interesting!
The answer to any question like that is: I have no idea, but we’ll try and find out tomorrow. And if we can’t, that’s okay.
I recently figured out that wheat/gluten FUBARs my health, so even just the concept of cereal grains has recently exploded in complexity in my head.
Before, I was eating:
- wheat (incl. durum, spelt, rye, and rarely barley, emmer)
- oats
- rice
Now I newly eat:
- buckwheat
- millet
- quinoa (in like three different colors)
- amaranth
- whole-grain rice is apparently pretty cool
- maize/corn (in the form of polenta and tortilla)
Buckwheat is so good if you fry onions, carrots and bacon, and then mix with boiled buckwheat.
Also if you don’t use multi-cooker - consider. It is a bit hard to get used to, but gives additional freedom in cooking everything from your list with meat.
