I have trouble believing this, though I've heard it before. The watermelon in the painting looks exactly like the insides I've seen in my homegrown watermelons when things don't go right, i.e. under watered, not fully pollinated, or just underripe.
- lmm 1y agoThat's pretty normal for selectively bred plants - under stressed or unusual conditions it reverts to the older phenotype.

- Cpoll 1y agoNo, their point is that the painting isn't evidence of changes, because they've seen modern watermelons that look the same.
