Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

Correct. Forks and spoons have a common ancestor called a spork. Often found in hospital cafeterias and Taco Bell, the spork combines the useful attributes of the spoon's ladle shape with the the fork's utilitarian jabbing prongs. Quite possibly one of the finest inventions of our time. A jack of all trades in the utensil family.
