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.
By Noble Drakoln. Corn is an English word used to describe any type of grain. In many parts of the world, it is known as maize, which was the name predominately used before grain was discovered in the New World. The origins of corn have been hotly debated; some estimates of when it was domesticated range as far back as 12,000 years ago.
