In his work “How Flowers Changed the World”, Loren Eiseley describes the importance of flowers and how they contributed to the evolution of animals, as well as to the emergence of mankind.
Millions of years ago, before flowers bloomed across the earth, the landscape consisted of green and brown colors. Then, the flowering plants laid down roots, and soon enough, in geological time, expressed more power and efficiency, by being beautiful and colorful. Without flowers, the world and the human race would have never existed.
