[QUOTE]Originally posted by Hotep2u: [QB] Greetings: Maize or corn is of HUMAN origin cultivated from the modification of Teosinte(the smallest seed at the top of the picture). [IMG]http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/WYW/fink/3.jpg[/IMG] 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. Crops developed by Native Americans quickly spread to other parts of the world as well. Native American Origins of Maize Many Native American traditions, stories and ceremonies surround corn, one of the "three sisters" (maize, beans and squash). Even in New England there are many variations on how maize was brought or introduced to Native Americans here. [b]Generally in southern New England, maize is described as a gift of Cautantowwit, a deity associated with the southwestern direction; that kernels of maize and beans were delivered by the crow, or in other versions the black-bird. Responsible for bringing maize, the crow would not be harmed even for damaging the cornfield. Other Algonquian legends recount maize brought by a person sent from the Great Spirit as a gift of thanks. [/b] Hotep [/QB][/QUOTE]
