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.
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

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
