Why can’t animals grow food? That seems very plausible given the use of tools and long-term strategies many of them evolve to employ (migration, hibernation, hoarding, etc.). How has an animal not buried seeds that it eats only to find later that they’ve taken root to become even more food? If Homo sapiens had been too dumb to use tools but just smart enough to work out agriculture, would this have constituted enough positive selection pressure to observe evolutionary changes like this?

DALLE Prompt: Please show me a fictional human that descends from a long line of farmers that have evolved shovel spades for hands instead of normal hands. His arms are also much longer and stronger than a typical human, but are entirely made of skin and bone. Show him preparing a field with his bizarre shovel arms in a manner that belies no ability for introspection or reasoning.
