Wild species of beans, maize (corn) and squash were first domesticated by Olmecs and Mayans some 6000 years ago, not on central Mexico but on the southeastern lowlands around the Gulf of Mexico, including the Yucatan Peninsula. Some 4500 years ago the practice spread to the rest of the Americas, and several civilizations, such as the Aztecs, continued with the tradition.
