Interesting! But what about plant-eating, there is no real mention of it? Was the transition after oxygen from plant to flesh eating so fast it's too short to mention there, or do they consider plants or fruits also flesh here?
- undersuit 9y ago>or do they consider plants or fruits also flesh here? Yes. The transition to flesh eating happened sometime near the evolution of eukaryotes. Back then the single celled organism would consume another organism by wrapping around the other cell and then breaking down the trapped cell inside. That's where eating comes from. When sufficiently complex multicellular organism evolved the process moved from within the cell to within an enclosed area of cells. Plant and animals have been eaten in a similar manner since they evolved.
