Do You Believe That Forks Evolved From Spoons?

Yes, I do. The reason is this. Evolution results from necessity, and while spoons were very good at scooping things, they were not so good at spearing, and as humans developed the sport of spearing fish, the need arose for tableware that suited the new fad. That is why we now have forks. Spoons were not, however replaced, as they still serve a purpose not met by forks. You cannot eat soup with a fork. That is why the spoon population remains undiminished. Each utensil serves its own great purpose, and the two are able to coexist peacefully.
