Yes, I saw a show on Nat Geo that may or may not be true. Nevertheless, genetics have been selected mechanically then, and nowadays, accelerated through genomics. But it was always selected. Starting with little scrawny wheat grasses and puny little maizes. Same old, same old...but faster now. Bottom line, life expectancy goes up dramatically in the past 200 years. (But is that necessarily a good thing? Sometimes I wonder...)
