Why do we have taste buds and the food have taste? What's the connection between these in terms of evolution?
That's interesting. So, how did taste buds evolve over time?
Taste buds likely evolved as a survival mechanism. Animals that could taste different flavors were able to differentiate between poisonous and non-poisonous foods, which gave them an advantage in surviving and reproducing. Eventually, this trait became more and more common in various species, including humans.
