I'm referring of course to Maize, Wheat, and Rice. What is it about this family that was so appealing for those picking out a plant to domesticate? Its not like they were in contact with each other and oculd be like "Yo, I picked Wheat and it rocks, you should pick Maize, its in the same family so I bet it'll be real good too" Esp considering I hear stories about how original wild maize had cobs no bigger than a finger, and it was only through the magic of selectively breeding that they became vast and bulbous like they are today.
...and here we are, living in cities built for their proximity to farmland, working longer hours and taking less time for ourselves than in Neolithic days. That's the one big lie: we didn't create civilization as a result of domesticating corn... we did it because corn domesticated us.
