No it was all for the beer. Beer domesticated us.
Either way I blame yeast
Wheat dommy mommy r34 please
Im 99% shure…
I figured I had worse things in my history and my personal TSA agent deserved to see this too, but nothing comes up except weird non-porn crypto stuff, a fully-clothed Shadowheart, and a magazine cover with muffins on it.
Don’t let this be my legacy.
TSA? You googling this shit in the line at airport security?
He’s googling it in the full body scanner
Someone read some Yuval Noah Harari it seems.
I keep thinking about his “there’s no point in invading lands anymore now, we are now a mostly peaceful world” thing as I read about Ukraine and Palestine
Keyword “mostly” I guess
Pretty sure i remember Harari mentioning his country Israel “not getting the memo” or something to that effect with the war thing. Double checked the book real quick and he does mention that conflict could arise in some of these countries despite us breaking the law of the jungle (conflict being natural and inevitable).
Not sure you can say the same thing about maize. That plant is a mutant freak considering what we did to it.
You mean that by controlling humans, maize evolved to a stronger plant?
It’s not stronger but more versatile. I’m not sure you call something that can’t reproduce without human intervention stronger. The stalk is definitely stronger than the original teosinte plant, that trait was selected over time for bean support.
So it sacrificed independence for symbiosis to assure a robust position in the ecology. The strains of escherichia coli in our gut depend on us to survive, but man, what a crib!
Particularly in the US most people are literally made of corn. Most foods have corn additives, the beef we eat is primarily fed corn before being slaughtered. On a molecular level we’re corn.
The corn won. We are corn.
I think you meant rice
Depending on what species of overlord contacted your tribe first.
Instructions unclear, became overlord.
“Let’s get this bread” man the bread got us
They’ve played us for absolute fools!
We domesticated ourselves.
Define domensticated… In your usage. Please.
Modified the behavioral patterns, biological features, or both, of a species in a way that creates a new symbiotic relationship.
Modified how? If it is modified by any influence at all, I think that is too broad, it would include all symbiotic relationships.

It was a rough early relationship. Early staples were not conducive to agriculture. Generations of selective breeding and grafting gave us better plants for crops. We both made the relationship work for mutual benefit.
Hallucinogenics were pretty easy to cultivate though and when you get the itch… (I mean, probably)
I see someone has been reading Sapiens.
Gud book, getting the same vibe rn by Life and death of great American cities by Jane jacobs
