Question

i dont want ne websites.. thanks :D

Answer 1

I know that's a bit hard but heres how it went...

In order to survive mankind is inserted just a few more things then we have today, we know how to breathe and eat, But back then they already knew how to grow, after hundreds of years of this, People loose the inherited trait of knowing how to plant because they would learn it from the elders,

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

They knew which plants gave the best yield in quantity or some quality or other they were interested in, and had a sensible preference for using corn from those sources; the best ones.  They knew about the results of the processes around ten thousand years earlier then anybody knew about genes.  Getting results isn't necessarily dependent upon knowing how stuff works.

Answer 3

they probably just chose which one tasted better
