I’m imagining that no one showed the first humans (or other animals) what was edible and what wasn’t. So how did we discover that the things that we consider food are indeed food and not end up munching on random things and wondering why it wasn’t satisfying? Was it trial and error or do we have something built in us that helps us recognize things as food?
In: Biology
Actually yes, it was simply trial and error. “Paul died eating that plant with the red leaves, so nobody else eat that one”
“Actually Marty cooked that one first and he didn’t die.”
“Oh cool!”
I’m not joking. That really is how we learned
