For years, scientists have been debating whether or not there is actually any evolutionary relationship between the Spoon and the Fork.
Then, a watershed moment in science happened. The Spork was discovered.
It happened in a fast food establishment in the 50's.
There were earlier tales of a hybrid Spoon/Fork, but this was the first time that one was sedated and placed in captivity where scientists could study it first hand.
Before this event, most mainstream scientists merely put the similarities betwix the Spoon and Fork as a case of convergent evolution.
Critics pointed out that they could not be related due to the drastic differences between the heads. While, they did concede that the handle (or thorax) of the Spoon and Fork was essentially identical, they pointed out that bats and birds both have wings, yet no one would say they are directly related.
