Water melons started out as small, hard, bitter fruits, somewhere in Southern or Western Africa. As generations of people selectively planted seeds from fruits that were larger and tastier, they created the sweet, red watermelon we know today. In the process, however, watermelon plants lost much of their genetic diversity.

The watermelon's history can be traced back 5,000 years to southern Africa, where its ancestor, the ur-watermelon, was cultivated. This drought-tolerant plant was prized for its ability to store water, and indigenous people in the Kalahari Desert used it as a water source. However, unlike today's watermelons, the ur-watermelon had bitter flesh, and some scientists believe ancient people may have also roasted its seeds for food
