At the Diaotonghuan archaeological site in China, there is evidence of wild rice growing as long as 12,000-11,000 years ago. I believe this is the oldest scientific proof of its presence. It may have originated even earlier in history though. Domesticated rice originates about 2,000 years later in the same geographic area.
