Glad to hear that. You said "Some wild plants don't survive and just die naturally due to disease and deficiency in the soil.
They can still struggle to survive and if they get human help they can regenerate better more abundantly"

I agree. But that says nothing about wild crops being domesticated. I was discussing wild crops being altered to human food.



Your statement mentioned keeping useful primitive wild crops continuing, mine involved humans improving some crops.







Would you believe me if I said wild terrestrial plants can communicate with each to each other to exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Plants actually alert other plants if in distress and one plant can help another plant by exchanging nutrients from the root system.
A lot of people think that's crazy but it's scientifically proven plants speak there own photosynthetic language especially wild plants then domestic plants. Domestic plants do communicate to other plants differently then how terrestrial plants communicate.its a chemical messenger or hormone.
Yes! Crops may lack that ability because they do need human care.
What I am saying when I say that is...
Terrestrial plants look after themselves while domestic plants need help from insects beneficial insects and humans to maintain them.
But if you turn the tables around wild plants can exchange nutrients from other plants and feed themselves while domestic plants rely on good insects and humans to keep them established like I said.
Some other wild plants other then domestic plants may be better at adapting and looking after themselves because they are so used to being in the wild more then domestic plants. But the tables can turn both ways. Domestic plants can become wild plants if neglected to look after themselves.
