My wife recently brought this home from a nurse conversation. Someone apparently had it sitting on their desk, and she asked if she could bring it back home with her. We've been trying to figure out what it exactly is and if it is edible.
Any ideas?

Cut it in half? Then we'll be able to see the inside and have a better gauge on what it is exactly. Right now however, it looks like a shriveled up tennis ball. If there is gas or juice be careful

Best bow wood there is. Apparently the tree has problem propagating by itself, it is assumed that the hedge apples were eaten by a now extinct species of giant sloth. Now no animal eats the fruits and spreads the seeds.

A good bow was worth a horse and a blanket. That was a lot and shows how rare and sought after Osage was. The tree had a revival as preferred plant for hedges, their thick thorns made them ideal for hedge-laying in the times before barbed wire.

Osage orange wood is also the hottest burning wood in North America. You can melt a woodstove with it if you're not careful. Cords of it are almost 2x as expensive as cords of normal hardwood like oak.

Pointing out that every provocative and original theory is mocked, refuted, dismissed and then marginalized before the status quo oriented "Establishment" begrudgingly grants acceptance. This is undeniable.

The question is not just why cant they be domesticated.
Its why cant they be domesticated by a primitive society.
This may seem to you like moving goalposts but its not. You are saying black people should have been able to domesticate the zebra because whites domesticated the horse.
These are two very different animals .
If you had the ancestors of modern horses and a pack of zebras side by side and had a race to domesticate, you would see huge differences in progress.
The starting point is different with every single species on earth.
You want to over simplify and say its all the same.
This is classic dunning kruger stuff here anon

I literally said there are differences in difficulty between species. I also did not imply that Africans should have done it. But saying the reason was that it was too hard seems wrong when another primitive people did it with wild horses (who are extinct today).
