Random Question

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

What a silly question! You obviously don't understand evolution.

With the arrival of spoons, food faced extinction. Food adapted in two ways. Some food evolved into simpler structures, like beans or macaroni, that could reproduce in greater numbers. Other food grew in size until it was too large for spoons. With no natural predators, this larger food threatened to unbalance the entire ecological system.

Forks and knives evolved together in response to larger food. What species they branched out from is less important than the evolutionary niche they filled. Nature is a complex system of relationships, all interacting to maintain a balanced whole. Without forks and knives, ever-larger food would have dominated the world. There would be no cities, no roads, just giant cheeseburgers floating like islands in the grease-mottled seas.
