Wood was a chief enabler of the success of our species
Wood was the chief enabler of trees. Trees have to be big, strong, lightweight, and bendable. Homogeneous materials won't work for that application. You need a composite. So evolution invented one.
Even more amazing: Trees 3D print themselves out of carbon dioxide.
