It took longer to develop corn, which grew as a wild grass

∙ 7y ago
The first Americans, particularly the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, developed corn through a process of selective breeding. They started with a wild grass called teosinte and gradually domesticated it over thousands of years, selecting for desirable traits like larger kernels and more productive plants. This process involved saving and replanting seeds from plants with these desired traits, leading to the development of maize, or corn as we know it today.
