Remarkable Creatures - Tracking the Ancestry of Corn Back 9,000 Years - NYTimes.com
This topic, the origins of corn, was a subject i was well read on in college. I explored the subject from both a botanical informational database and the archaeological side too. Writing many papers for classes in both subjects. I am fairly confident that I read and found every single peer reviewed journal article and review book on the subject published before 1993-1994.
The remarkable evolution of this plant really is amazing. The one plant that cannot reproduce itself. Humans have made sure that corn is as dependent on us as we are on it.
And, now, we are far too dependent on this "grass" far to dependent.
