How Corn Changed Itself and then Changed Everything Else
How Corn Changed Itself and then Changed Everything Else
10,000 years ago a weedy grass growing in Mexico was transformed into what we would come to know as corn. Nurtured by Native Americans, this grain would transform the Americas.

Cynthia Clampitt teaches how and why corn transformed the Heartland and helped create today's world.
