CREATIVITY / PLANT / DOMESTICATION
Plant domestication is the ~10,000-year-old c0-evolutionary process where humans intentionally or unconsciously selected wild plants for desirable traits, creating a mutualism that transformed human civilization and agriculture. It resulted in “domestication syndrome”—higher yields, larger seeds, loss of seed dispersal, and reduced toxins—adapting crops like wheat, rice, and maize for human consumption and cultivation.
