Animals and plants don’t evolve with other animals or plants, but with qualia.
They evolve through their mutual relationships with shared qualia.
For instance, certain of our ancestral animals and plants shared redness.
A plant’s red berries kept an animal alive, and so, over generations, the animal’s offspring developed a keener ability to see red.
Over time, these animals spread the seeds of reddest plants’ berries in their poop, and the plants with the more vivid, sensible redness spread through the landscape.
The ability to notice red evolved with the plants’ ability to project it.
All living beings have evolved to their present state because of qualiadelic relationships like the one with shared redness. See Qualiadelic Selection
