Corn evolved from a type of grass in Mexico. It looked nothing like the corn we know today, but instead like tall grass. Natives found that the seeds of the plant were edible, though small and not particularly good. Selective breeding and selection has gradually shifted it into the corn we know today. These breeding programs continue to improve this grass even today, with researchers modifying the genome directly in some cases. http://www.seedsofchange.com/enewsletter/issue_43/corn.asp
