AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION
Dandelions were introduced into the New World by fur traders because they grew so well and had enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy.
Another benefit is that the dandelion as today, is it could be a good cheap and easy to grow food source. Yuk!
So with a profitable fur trade calling, dandelions accompanied these early colonists.
Once the colonists were settled in and the dandelions planted, the fur traders ships sailed back to merry old England, only to return a few years later.
Upon their return, they found all of the colonists dead, but the dandelion thriving!
