Little is known about the origin of popcorn seeds or any other type of maize, except that it most likely evolved into its current state in Mesoamerica. There are theories that suggest that it evolved from other existing plants to which it shares some genetic similarities. I am attaching a link to the Wikipedia entry for Maize that may answer this question from a strictly genetic standpoint. From a cultural standpoint, the residents of Mesoamerica, and later on, residents of all other countries in the world that started growing corn, began breeding maize for certain traits. While it is not certain what event led to the realization that popcorn could be produced from maize, it is evident that certain types of maize produce better popcorn than others. This may have been the result of breeding by natives of Mesoamerica. Popping corn "ears" that are 5600 years old have been found in New Mexico.
