MODERATORS
Bananas are a similar one to corn too. Take something almost entirely inedible and cultivate it into something edible. Makes you wonder what convinced them to start.
Starvation was probably a good motivator
Could be. We still don't know why people became sedentary farmers over hunter-gatherers, but it's happened many times in history.
Somehow, farming happened independently but around the same time around the world, between 8000 and 10000 years ago. This is everywhere from Europe to the Americas to New Guinea, all apparently independently of each other!
it was likely so humans could make booze
Beer was one of the first processed foods, but I don't think that was the reason for the development of agriculture.
They were farming taro on New Guinea 10,000 years ago. There's no tradition, as far as I know, of making alcohol from taro.
