Maize domestication dates to ~9,000 years ago, i.e. ~7000 BCE, not 9000 BCE
Beforemaize domesticated from teosinte in highland Mexico by 9000 BCE
Afterrice cultivation in the Yangtze River Valley by approximately 7000 BCE, maize domesticated from teosinte in highland Mexico by 7000 BCE, sorghum in sub-Saharan Africa, potato in the Andes.
Why: Verified: body text correctly reads "by 7000 BCE" for maize domestication (matching the ~9,000-years-ago dating). No stale "9000 BCE" figure remains anywhere on the page, and the FAQ schema does not mention maize domestication at all. No further changes needed.
