The Evolution of Agriculture in the Americas

Evidence to suggest that humans may have been eating potatoes as long ago as 11 thousand b c e among the andes mountain range of south america. The siatola rock shelter in the state of garrero in modern day mexico has been the place of discovery for evidence of early domesticated squash. Not only squash, but also maze, which is also known in the modern world as corn, or sweet corn. If we can take this as proof, then there is absolutely no possible way that agriculture started in one place and spread throughout the world. It happened independently in many different locations,. likely caused by similar pressures.
