Scientists found corn cobs, husks, stalks and tassels 3000 to 6700 years old at the Paredones and Huaca Prieta, Peru. Maize microfossils are also found on the site were found researchers from Vanderbilt University, Tennessee and Academia Nacional de la Historia, Peru's.
The findings of this corn cobs, according to researchers, showed that the residents around the site is eating popcorn and flour corn.

"Corn was first domesticated in Mexico nearly 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte," said Dolores Piperno, curator from the Smithsonian Museum.

This study shows that only a few hundred years later the corn arrived in South America. "Where have evolved into different varieties of corn that is now in the can in the Andean region."

Furthermore, he added, this evidence indicates that maize entered earlier than the pottery in many areas. "As a food, corn is not dependent on the presence of pottery," he added as quoted from page Dailymail.

Piperno also said that this discovery - the earliest in South America - it is important to understand how the ancient corn cobs and seed corn into hundreds of species known today.

"Because this period is very minimal data in other areas, the wealth of information about the morphology of corn cobs and this is very important to understand how to plant corn we know today," he explained.
