We did evolve grandmother's. That was an evolutionary pressure response. Deep knowledge and long growth have lead us through doors of perception far beyond the reach of all life we have yet precieved.

Grandmother's what? What's implied by the "'s" after "grandmother"?

Apple pie.

The entire purpose of life and evolution up to this point was to evolve grandmother's apple pie.
