Article Synopsis
- Domesticated maize originated from wild teosinte in Mexico around 9000 years ago, spreading through Central and South America over the next few millennia.

- Various human influences contributed to the genetic diversity and distribution of modern South American maize, with the southwestern Amazon serving as a secondary center for its improvement.
