Thompson,1) establishes this in the archaeological record of the American Southwest. As well as the uses of such items show the importance and value given to them. The contact, and influence of this contact, shapes a region, and the contribution of maize cultivation shapes a continent. While this contact is definite in the American Southwest, there is still questions in the Southeast. The assumption of contact and influence is in the commonalities that imply contact with the two spheres in the Southeastern

pesticides and insects can be real troublesome. Scientists have found a way to make crops resistant to pesticides. You read that right crops that are resistant to pesticides. Even though all crops are resistant yet cotton, soybean, rapeseed, and maize are.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted in its 5th Assessment Report both the unequivocal warming and apparent human influence on the climate system. Anthropogenic (human-induced) climate change was proven by the increasing atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gases, radiative forcing, and observation over warming and the climate system. It is also emphasized that to reduce changes in the climate system will require substantial and continuous reductions of greenhouse gas

genetic modification without knowing the information about genetic modification. They have emerging concerns for Genetic modifications associated with environmental hazard and human health. The genetically modified food like the insect resistant maize and herbicide tolerant soybean is in the US food market for almost 20 years with noteworthy advantages including reduced use of insecticides and herbicides, lessened labor costs and enhancement in food quality (Brookes & Barfoot, 2012).
