The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Why do we have taste buds and the food have taste? What's the connection between these in terms of evolution?
I see. Is there any evidence that taste buds have changed in humans over time, based on what we eat?
There is some evidence to suggest that our taste buds have changed as a result of our diets. For example, people who eat a lot of spicy food may have more sensitive spicy taste receptors than those who don't. There are also genetic variations in taste buds that can affect how sensitive we are to different flavors. However, more research is needed to fully understand how our diets and genetics affect our taste buds.
