The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made (進化の実 ～知らないうちに勝ち組人生～, Shinka no Mi: Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei) is a Japanese fantasy light novel series written by Miku and illustrated by U35 (spelled "Umiko").
Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. [1] [2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and genetic drift act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations.

It is a large, egg-shaped fruit with a sweet flavour. 'Saanichton 12', from British Columbia, is somewhat more rectangular than 'Hayward' and comparably sweet, but the inner core of the fruit can be tough. 'Blake' can self-pollinate, but has a smaller, more oval fruit, and the flavour is considered inferior. [2] [15]
The fruit is unusual in that it floats, and the stem is underground and dichotomously branched, also unusual in palms. The Phytelephantoideae is the sixth subfamily of Arecaceae in N.W. Uhl and J. Dransfield's 1987 classification.

Drosophila (/ d r ə ˈ s ɒ f ɪ l ə, d r ɒ-, d r oʊ-/ [1] [2]) is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit.
Hura crepitans, the sandbox tree, [2] also known as possumwood, monkey no-climb, assacu (from Tupi asaku) and jabillo, [3] is an evergreen tree in the family Euphorbiaceae, native to tropical regions of North and South America including the Amazon rainforest.
Additionally, Drosophila subobscura, also within the genus Drosophila, has been reputed as a model organism for evolutionary-biological studies, [3] along with D. sechellia for the evolution of host specialization on the toxic noni fruit [4] and Scaptomyza flava for the evolution of herbivory and specialist on toxic mustard leaves.
