We did not domesticate wheat. It domesticated us.
Confusing. We were the ones doing all the work, but wheat domesticated us? The party doing the domesticating is the party working to make the other species work for them. The fact that we changed our lifestyle to allow us to grow more wheat is not a case of wheat “manipulating” us. Domestication is work. Plus, wheat is not conscious, so this feels like a ridiculous statement.
