The cartoon is funny; but, no one knows what kind of fruit was on the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and of Evil.” There was only one of those trees in existence.
I suggest that everyone read “Ring World” and “Ring World Engineers” by Larry Niven. Pay close attention to references to the “Tree of Life” which gives an unusual interpretation of the “Tree of Knowledge”.
The Pak and Humanity In Protector, Niven explains that humans (and all of Earth’s primates) are descended from a colony of Pak breeders that were stranded on Earth 2.5 million years ago. The protectors that built the colony ship died when their Tree-of-Life crops failed.
