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.
It is an absolute certainty that maize was domesticated in Mesoamerica and that, from the time when agriculture was first practiced (about 3 000 years ago), it already formed part of the earliest production systems along with a species of Cucurbita and Capsicum.he plant cover is also very varied in Mesoamerica since the elements of northern origin-pines reach as far as Nicaragua, for instance merge with South American species, many of which have penetrated deep into the lowlands of both slopes in Mexico.
