Are we absolutely certain it didnt evolve so that humans have to keep it going? Maybe that was it’s plan all along?

damn, i had so much arguments with creationists around myself recently, that just the words “plan” and “evolution” put together make me unhappy

plan and evolution together feels eugenics-y, yeah that makes me unhappy too
tbf, if we extrapolate ad absurdum, not reproducing with the first mature enough person we meet, and rather chosing partner based of arbitrary traits we wanna see in our kids already sounds eugenic-y
i was talking more so about a hlant doing adaptaition “with purpose in mind”
That weird, because all of our farmed crops and animals are selectively breed, which means planned evolution (usually, but I guess some ancient examples were purely accidental). Evolution is just the process of selection to perpetuate offspring. It being planned or unplanned doesn’t matter. Creationism is just not talking about evolution at all usually.
yeah, you’re right, but, i guess i’ve chosen my words poorly, as you’re arguing not about what i had in mind.
OP asked about the end purpose of ihe reproductive mecanism of said tree going so complex, it can no longer reproduce, wether it did that, so we would reproduce the the tree ourselves instead. They obviously said that half jokingly, but i still was trigerred.
I have no idea, but I would imagine if you bury if it could maybe still work. Not on its own though. The ear isn’t a seed though. It’s a large cluster of seeds. The natural ancestor corn evolved from looks more like wheet, but obviously still not like the wheet we know.

i was thinking more “you’re burying the entire fruit” than “you’re burying a single seed” but i didn’t make my assumptions clear.

Kinda like the panda.
Want some fuq?
No thanks!🤗
Well, there’s what are probably wild populations in mountainous areas so I think that proves rather handily that the problem is, as always, humans
Sometimes beetles are the problem.
Invasive beetles introduced by…
Or normal beetles that don’t die in winter because it doesn’t get cold enough due to global warming created by…
Why don’t you two finish your sentences? Don’t leave us hanging. It’s aliens, isn’t it?
It must be, no sentient species would be that stupid.

Isn’t the issue with Gingko that its seed dispenser went extinct?
[edit, fuck it, I’m pulling out my paleobotany text book for the second time today. fu science memes.]
Well? Don’t leave us hanging!

Maize can’t grow naturally because of the husks, it needs humans
wait, you can’t just bury an old ear of corn, you gotta take the husk off? TIL

Maize didn’t evolve naturally, we created it. Teosinte on the other hand is generally eaten and shat back out before germinating

My college had a female ginkgo tree on campus. Everyone called it the poo tree.
