Which, incidentally is about as much intelligence as it takes to “make a difference”. Anon is here assuming you need an engineering degree to outsurvive a moose, when all it takes is “hey, if put bad potato underground many good potato come up later”.
You make it sound like discovering agriculture is child’s play. It probably was the brightest minds of the day who figured stuff like that out. It was revolutionary. The entire society had to be redesigned around growing enough good potato to get through a winter.

the funny thing behind agriculture, is that the vast majority of modern foods we eat are selectively bred over the entire course of agrarian history.
Most of these grown foods today, simply didn’t exist.
THAT was the the true genius.
