Peppers are that way because birds don't taste the hotness and they spread seeds further than other animals. I guess humans spread seeds even further as you can get them shipped from another continent really easily. Although birds also fly those distances, they poop more frequently.

Humans also are really bad at returning digested seeds to the environment. Unlike all other life we process our shit
