Description
Maize for the Gods brings together new research by archaeologists, archaeobotanists, plant geneticists, and a host of other specialists to explore the complex ways in which this single plant and the peoples who domesticated it came to be inextricably entangled with one some other during the last nine millennia. Tracing maize from its first appearance and domestication in ancient campsites and settlements in Mexico to its intercontinental journey through most of North and South The us, this history also tells the tale of the artistic creativity, technological prowess, and social, political, and economic resilience of The us’s first peoples.
