Why does it take so long for fruits like apples to appear? Surely people would have tried eating those immediately. Certainly easier than mollusks, right?

- mattnewton 5y agoSpeculating- some modern fruits are cultivars of not nearly as nice-to-eat fruits. Maybe they took time to discover / graft / cultivate popular versions? Another possible version is that the resolution is very low and the exact order could be wrong because it is just based on the oldest recorded evidence of the food being eaten.
- darkerside 5y agoYeah, I assumed the latter, but the former makes sense. I wonder what some of those might have been.
