I don’t think this is difficult to understand at all. You want to have a tool to scoop liquid, hold it in your hand, and allow you to pour it into your mouth. So, you invent a cup or a bowl. Then, you want a tool that allows you to do this in mouth-sized bits. So, you invent a spoon. Or, if you’re really smart, a straw.
Was it really? I would have just thought a tree branch that split in 2 would be considered the first forks. Like the thing you would use to hold a hotdog over the fire.
In that case maybe the single chopstick was the first utensil…? I feel like a two-pronged stick would be ridiculed at first, much the way heliocentrism was. Imagine being the Copernicus of stick technology, lol

This really isn’t that hard.
Exactly, and it’s easier to build a wooden spoon than a wooden fork. It was invented much earlier
