Description:	The importance of maize (Zea mays L.) has long been critical to our understanding of the development of pre-Hispanic cultures in the New World. Our perceptions and conceptions regarding its roles and importance to ancient economies are largely the product of scientific research on the plant itself, this developed, for the most part, out of botanical research and scholarship in plant biology and its recent role as one of the most important economic staples in the world. The mutability of the plant and its ability to adapt and reproduce in a wide variety of environmental circumstances led to the previously untested assumption that its central economic role to sociocultural development was at the very basis of its transformation from its wild progenitor Zea mays ssp. parviglumis to domesticated corn
