Evolution is interesting as a scientific concept: we came from a cell that assembled itself from multiple different elements which in turn developed into something more complex. From my very basic understanding of evolution, we started off as a mono cellular organism in the sea, went through several stages of the evolutionary process in an aquatic environment and then migrated to land going through a variety of monkey like stages before one day deciding it was time to stand on two legs and walk.
Simplistic, yes but that’s more or less my understanding of the concept. Anyhoo, I got to wondering if it were possible that my favourite cake could one day evolve in the same way out of random existing elements to become a fully formed black forest gateau!
