09 Jun '08 15:43Originally posted by twhiteheadit would appear to me that if the shape of the human hand has ANYTHING to do with the shape of a banana, it is because we once were apes. it is likely that the apes hand evolved to grow a thumb so it could grasp things such as bananas and tree branches. it's a chicken and egg thing, the banana was not made to fit it's consumer, that would make no sense; the hand was made to fit the banana.
Thats because God made them for Dodos to eat. (Ice Age - the movie).

However, bananas are eaten in the wild by a wild variety of animals including birds, elephants and monkeys. I don't see them as particularly suited to humans.
11 Jun '08 00:51Originally posted by EcstremeVenomFruit generally are a dispersal method in their own right. The flesh of a fruit is the ovary wall of the plant (the little star thing at the bottom of most fruits was the flower). The flesh can be simply used to provide nutrients for the developing seed, yet often it is eaten by, for example, small mammals, which eat the fruit (and the seed), move somewhere else, then deficate the seed out. Thus the seed is dispersed in a new location, with a handy source of nutrients.

All right, that comes across as a little desperate. There are a billion ways one can prove God does not exist without having to go to the produce section at Giant Eagle.
16 Jun '08 23:03Originally posted by scottishinnzTo a certain extent. Bananas certainly never existed naturally as large as the usual variety is now. However, some smaller bananas are still being bred. Truth is, there are hundreds of species of edible banana, and most people are only exposed to one or two, not counting plantains.
