Figs are a transitional phase from flowers to fruit.

Get a flower, a fig and an orange. Cut each in half and see how the fig is a flower sealed in on itself, with fat pulpy stamens, and the orange is a fig with thicker skin and fatter, juicier stamens.

If you chose a good flower you could eat all three.

It often happens when we see something as it is now, it is not immediately clear how that arrangement could have developed step-by-step, with each step bringing a selective advantage in it's context. Yet for every concern I have ever seen raised, I have seen an explanation. I have been involved in academic debates on this stuff until I got bored with the same moves over and over again.

You're so filthy when you talk fruit...

Two wasps, one fig.
