Corn originated in the Americas. The natives of Mesoamerica in prehistoric times specifically bred plants in order to domesticate it into a viable source of food. It was spread across the world after Europeans crossed the Atlantic Ocean and found the continent.
A cob of corn is actually multiple fruit all together. These days, one cob typically has about two hundred to four hundred kernels! In addition to being high in fiber, corn is a good source of folate, which actually helps with the generation of new cells in the body. It's a widely-used and accepted part of a good diet.
Corn is truly a demonstration of how we can use genetics to improve life! Just think of what we could do if we selectively bred better traits into people.
After all, that's just part of evolution! In Darwinism, those with the traits most needed to survive live and breed, while those without the necessary traits don't; in other words, the best is passed on and determine the traits of our next generations. If we really tried, we could actually eliminate baldness, reduce genetic predispositions to heart disease, even ensure better hearing and eyesight.
