Did trees evolve like animals supposedly have?

How do you mean?

A lot of trees are quite recent in an evolution sense. There were some at the time of the dinos but really just evergreens.

>>18565223

Like where did they come from? Did an oak evolve from an evergreen? Where do palm trees come from? Start as grass and the become trees?

Perfectly valid questions.

Science, not /x/

So, these are valid questions but these are questions more suited for /sci/. There's nothing really paranormal about tree evolution. It'd be a different story if you were asking about like great trees of myths and legends, but you're looking more for the general tree and unless a wandering Dendrologist comes along you wont find much here. You'll likely find more answers on /sci/ and wandering Dendrologists might appear more on /sci/.

Yes plants have evolved with everything else

The great oxygenation event was caused when chemi form bacterial mats were forced to use the energy from the sun to behind energy cascades, thus photosynthesis was born

>Where do palm trees come from? Start as grass and the become trees?
Sort of. The earliest monocots (the family grass is from) in the fossil record were small palm trees about 90 M years ago. The earliest grass fossils go back about 50 M years, but the first possible evidence of grazing on grass go back 120 M years, so it's possible grass and palms have a grass like ancestor, but also possible they had a tree like ancestor. Bamboo is also in this family btw.

The underlying reason for trees is really vascularity. As different groups of plants evolved better vascular systems they could grow taller easier. So the ancestors of the conifers developed this very early on. But more recently some flowering plants developed even better vascular systems and now account for much of the world's trees.

Today: more rp on /x/.

Protip:
>We all know everything came from the ayy lmao.

They can communicate with scent in the fall to drop leaves or something. Leaves also curl before rain.

What if they're most advanced since they just live off minimal food.
Turning dirt into wood is kind of wild. They grow out of plant corpses... kinda metal actually

You didn't pick up on it, but this is supposed to be a stealth
>prove creationism isn't so, protip you can't
thread

OP could've Googled it if he actually wanted to know the answer.

He may have assumed we didn't pay attention in biology class because science and superstition supposedly don't mix. Or he may actually be a creationist; I haven't met one yet who can even begin to wrap his head around evolution.

Either way, you're completely right, this thread doesn't belong here.

some plants have animal like qualities, like the venus fly trap eats flys, and plants have gender male and female, while there was some non plant thing was found to have photosynthesis , there are fishes that walk on land...mammals that spend most their lives underwater ...

Trees are ayylmaos.

Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, savoy, kohlrabi and kai-lan are all the same species. We fucked with Brassica oleracea until it became all of those things.

Random mutation and natural selection, exactly the same way everything else evolves.

Those with useful traits survive and reproduce, passing those traits on, etc.

>Are trees paranormal

Goddammit /x/.
