(“Evolution of Maize,” n.d.)
The image illustrates the evolution of maize from its wild ancestor, teosinte, through domestication in America and Europe, leading to modern hybrid varieties. It highlights key milestones, starting 7,000 years ago in Mexico, showing how selective breeding shaped today’s maize.
The video "The Evolution of Maize (Corn)" explains how ancient farmers in Mexico domesticated the wild grass teosinte into modern corn over thousands of years through selective breeding. It highlights genetic evidence tracing maize’s origin to the Balsas River Valley and shows how maize spread globally and evolved into today’s high-yield hybrid varieties.
