Adaptations in Plants

A strand of wheat

Wheat has adapted over the years. As said before, adaptation is when an animal or plant alternates to fit the form of the environment. In the Neolithic Age, the start of farming began for the early humans. Depending on where they lived, they farmed different kinds plants, but many of which farmed wheat. These early humans changed wheat in a drastic way by natural selection. Every time a human picked wheat based on their tastes, for example if a wheat's kernel was big they would pick that wheat, instead of the smaller wheat. This created the wheat with the big kernels to become an abundance in their crop field instead of the wheat with smaller kernels.
