Using a variety of scientific techniques, Duccio Bonavia explores the development of maize, its adaptation to varying climates and its fundamental role in ancient American cultures. An appendix (by Alexander Grobman) provides the first-ever comprehensive compilation of maize genetic data, correlating this data with the archaeological evidence presented throughout the book. This book provides a unique interpretation of questions of dating and evolution, supported by extensive data, following the spread of maize from South to North America and eventually to Europe and beyond. 606 $aCorn$xHistory 606 $aCorn$zAmerica 615 0$aCorn$xHistory. 615 0$aCorn 676 $a633.1/5 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aBonavia$b Duccio$f1935-2012,$01177552 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811593503321 996 $aMaize$94008287 997 $aUNINA
