There is archaeological evidence of fork and knife cutlery use in China from 8000~ years ago. And chopsticks became widely used there 3000~ years ago. So China actually evolved from eating with hands (archaic, uncivilized) to cutting and stabbing foods using utensils held by both hands to wielding two sticks in one hand, which is delicate, refined, elegant and high IQ.

I thought there was some kind of wide scale fuel shortage thousands of years ago–wood for chacoal, I suppose–that facilitated the adoption of chopsticks as the dominant eating utensil. Something about raw food being cut into bite-sized pieces to make cooking times shorter to conserve fuel. When all cooked food is more or less uniform, chopsticks make a lot of sense compared to forks and knives, and then culturally the chopsticks keeps going because all the cuisine is based around food that is easily eaten with them. Not that people cannot invent a fork if they have invented knives and spoons.

Forks require metal, and therefore were way more expensive than chopsticks whittled out of thin branches.
