It is easy to imagine a period of time, for example, 9 months is the time for the maturation of a coconut or the time for the transformation of two cells into a new life. But 50 million years ago, when the first protococonut fell to the ground, territory of modern Ukraine was still a sea - this is incomprehensible and exciting at the same time.
A fantastic fruit that we call a nut, but it is not a nut, liquid inside we call a "coconut milk", but it's also NOT actually milk. A joke of nature and one of the most important plants in the human civilization history.
