Discovered in northeastern China and reported in 1998, Archaefructus sinensis is the oldest angiosperm (flowering plant) found to date. Insects have co-evolved with angiosperms in the 125 million years since the “world’s first flower” grew on earth, freeing them from the waters previously required to move their seeds and pollen and allowing them to migrate to land. The development of angiosperms was an evolutionary event that laid the foundation for life on this planet as we know it. Without it we would not have many types of fodder for our livestock, most fruits and vegetables, coffee to drink in the morning, or wool and cotton to keep our bodies warm. We recognize that it is only when we evolve that we move, improve, grow, and develop. The best part of evolution is that the benefits persist through time, touching generations not yet realized.
