Plants came before moths, but there are some desert plants whose life cycle is dependent on a species of moth pollinating them. How things were in the past influences but isn’t the sole arbiter of how things are in the present or future.

Which isn’t to say that it’s strictly true, I think it serves more purpose as a thinking exercise than a scientific theory. But I don’t think it’s impossible that it’s true, either.

We don't need chickens to survive either. It doesn't mean we didn't domesticate them.

Things change tho, they can “evolve” so to say.

Plants need us animals to turn that oxygen they produce back into carbon dioxide for them.

plants came from red algae i believe, that was able to survive on land as primitive bryphytes, or thier ancestors. carbiniferous period is when they really took off. Plants encorporated both chloroplast and mitochondria endosymbionts in thier evolution.

Every seedless fruit is a testament of how humanity has deviated from its original, seed nurturing purpose.

Navel gazers?

its a clone of a clone, much like the cavendish bannana, and cultivars of watermelons. and apples too.

fun fact, there is actually a cold tolerant wild orange that grows in the wild, the trifoliate orange, but its not super edible because its extremely bitter flesh, and it has thorns, and its more resistant to disease than domesticated oranges.

That reminds me. Need to go clone some grape cultivars and do some more guerilla gardening at my buddy's house

Brb, gotta go buy some cat food.
