Abandoned Orange
What is an orange anyway?
A sweet orange, otherwise the resulting fruit of a likely obsolete hybrid of a mandarin and pomelo, is the standard "orange."
But I know people who think of mandarins as "mini oranges" despite the orange being the human fabrication.
And then you can cross a mandarin with an orange again and get something totally different. 0.5 orange?
What is a lemon? A lemon is created as a hybrid with a bitter orange, so is a lemon an orange? By that logic, all oranges are mandarins.
Considering citrus evolved about 7 million years ago, did ancient animals create the orange before us, only to have it die out, and then we recreated the orange? Did it taste the same?
Don't think about it too hard.
