Last summer, while on vacation with my hubby, I swam a few laps in a pool. I absolutely loved it. I adore being in the water, and Iâd forgotten how all over nice a swim can feel â tiring in a good way and meditative. Plus, thereâs the bonus that itâs not hard on my still-a-little-bit-recovering right knee. After that trip, I told myself Iâd go home and pick up lap swimming.
Evolution of Maize Agriculture Corn or maize (zea mays) is a domesticated plant of the Americas. Along with many other indigenous plants like beans, squash, melons, tobacco, and roots such as Jerusalem artichoke, European colonists in America quickly adopted maize agriculture from Native Americans.
Where does maize come from? Maize was domesticated over 6000 years ago in what is now Mexico, from a wild grass called teosinte. The two plants look very different, maize plants having a single tall stalk with multiple leaves while teosinte being a short, bushy plant.aize was domesticated over 6000 years ago in what is now Mexico, from a wild grass called teosinte.
