Hi Patrick, a couple of questions:

1) In the episode and in the interview with Peter Bellwood you mention a theory about higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphere causing teosinte to look more like modern maize. Do you have a source you can point out for that? It sounds really intriguing.

2) In the overview, you didn't mention the people of Llanos de Moxos. Archaeological evidence points to them cultivating crops like cassava as early as 10,000 BP. I don't know if you have plans to talk about them, but I'd be happy to point you towards some resources on the topic.
