Nothing natural about Bananas. We've already selectively bred them.
Yeah, aren't nearly all commercially sold bananas one highly vulnerable subspecies (for lack of a better word) that is already scarily vulnerable to diseases?
Plant. They are all clones/cultivars of the same plant. One does not make a species. The plants are being selectively bred, however, to produce a new offspring so it can cross pollinate with itself or another species to make it stronger.
Yes, I remember this. Back in the day, there was a Creationist who made the argument that the banana was evidence for Creation. Critics pointed out that it all falls apart if you replace the grocery store banana with a wild one.
Same with corn. If people died off what we know as corn would stop growing
