The origin of maize has been a topic of interest to both biologists and archaeologists. During the twentieth century, the viewpoint that maize is a domesticated form of teosinte received convincing support from biological data and is now broadly accepted among biologists familiar with the issues and data. There is no support of any kind for an alternative view that maize is a hybrid of the grasses Zea diploperennis and Tripsacum.
