Bananas are a similar one to corn too. Take something almost entirely inedible and cultivate it into something edible. Makes you wonder what convinced them to start.

Starvation was probably a good motivator

Could be. We still don't know why people became sedentary farmers over hunter-gatherers, but it's happened many times in history.

Somehow, farming happened independently but around the same time around the world, between 8000 and 10000 years ago. This is everywhere from Europe to the Americas to New Guinea, all apparently independently of each other!

Ever seen the happening?

I bet its like that only instead of killing us the plants tricked humans into farming them
