Did you know that papaya and pineapple fruits are associated with Hawaii, Cuba? Oranges grow very well in Florida and California, but they started growing there with the help of the Spanish missionaries that took them there. Where did they come from? Did you know that one of the likely reasons why North American Indians never developed agriculture on a large scale was the belief that there was just nothing edible on earth? This notion only began to change when they started trading with their more agriculturally prosperous neighbors in Central and South America. Scientific evidence shows that the vegetables and fruits of today did not suddenly appear on earth, but have evolved over a very long period due to natural selection, human selection, and more recently plant breeding and other forms of genetic improvement including mutation.
