Just like peppers, a sort of odd evolution when humans come into play.

Peppers devolved capsaicin to keep mammalian herbivores from eating them and grinding the seeds up. Birds have no capsaicin receptors, happily poop whole seeds everywhere.

Along come humans. "Let's grown and refine that shit!"

I've been using one of the hottest sauces I've had in a long time. It's called Satan Revenge made with ghost peppers. I'm in so much pain when and after eating it. It's good stuff.
