Anyone who has a backyard garden knows that growing food can be challenging. Some years, it’s really dry, and even when you water in the morning and in the evening, your garden still looks thirsty. Other years, an unknown disease or insect sets in—your plants look feeble, and they produce fewer harvestable fruits and vegetables. After all the day-in and day-out work, this outcome is quite discouraging – knowing for all your effort, you’ll probably harvest less, and it likely won’t taste as good.

The study highlights how corn traveled from Mexico to the United States, along with all of the changes that took place in the crop as early hunters and gatherers used selection – picking the best plants from the previous harvest for the next season’s planting. Natural selection and traditional breeding together have improved the crop over time.
