Study: Cannabis was the very first crop that humans grew!

You start to wonder what the priorities were of the very first gardeners. Contrary to what biologists previously thought, the first plants grown by humans were not food, but cannabis! This is what biologists and other scientists say following a large-scale study published in Science Advances. Our government really needs to ask itself what it is doing. The cannabis that she bans and combats every day turns out to be nothing less than the very first crop grown by humans! This is what biologists and other scientists claim in response to the recently published study. The general view was that the first cannabis plants came from China and Japan, where they still grow wild. An earlier study from 2016 claimed that view. However, genetic sequencing has now shown that those ancient cannabis strains all descended from one ancestral gene pool from East Asia. Multifunctional crop The common assumption among scientists and historians is that people first began growing plants for food. The new research shakes that assumption. Although the seeds of cannabis plants are very nutritious, researchers say that doesn't seem to be the reason why cannabis became the first crop cultivated by humans some 12,000 years ago.

Based on the research, the biologists and botanists conclude that cannabis was a multifunctional crop for early humans. They started growing the mind-expanding plant because of the fibers and also partly for the mind-expanding effect. Only a small part of those first cannabis plants were later found as hemp and intoxicants. Genetic sequencing has shown that.

12,000 years:

So long ago, the first plants were grown by humans, and they were also cannabis plants. The researchers obviously do not know whether it was tasty cannabis, but they do know that the first cannabis plants were grown by humans so long ago. Genetic sequencing of samples of wild and cultivated varieties from China showed that the first cannabis plants were most likely cultivated in the early Neolithic period. This started about 11,000 years BC and ended when the Bronze Age began. Archaeological finds such as pottery with impressions of hemp rope from southern China and Taiwan support the conclusion.
