The Olmec civilization was the first to rise in Mexico, around 1200 BC. In order to become a true civilization, they had to settle, build cities and "invent" agriculture; in order to do such feat, they had to "domesticate" several crops, including maize (corn), beans, chili, and some species of squash.
