Corn history?

Question

Corn history?

Answer 1

Maize (aka Corn) orginated in the Americas and brought back to Europe.

Answer 2

Michelle's web site seem very accurate

by going back 7000 years,,..

I would like to imagine several women would gather the tiny corn plant to harvest the seeds and would plant them in the spring. As the crop grew in better soil ,,larger stalks and cobs just naturally followed..

As I remember somehow they conceived that placing a minnow with the seed  (as fertilizer) the plant grew even larger..

I wonder how many years it took for them to see the pollination system....??? selective breeding ??
