Ghost Pumpkins

What's wrong with orange?

Orange is great, OK, but why not white? White pumpkins were developed independently by several growers late last century, just the latest interesting variation of a crop that has been cultivated for maybe 8000 years. White pumpkins are a fine example of "it is what it is until we mess with it". Of course 8000 years has seen a lot of changes in pumpkins,  color, size, shape, etc. But it didn't start with farmers. Mutation and selection has been going on for some 3.7 billion years here on Earth before farmers had a say, and during that time evolution produced about five billion species of which 8.7 million survive including us. We arrived late, or maybe we are still arriving. I mean it continues; it's still messing with us, mutations every generation. We may yet evolve, or we may join the extinct majority. But we have a say in what happens next.

To summarize:

It is what it is
until we mess with it and it messes with us;
but we have a say in what happens next.

There. I made it as simple as I can. I'm done. The rest is up to you.
