Rice was first domesticated in China around 10,000 years ago. "Such an age for the beginnings of rice cultivation and domestication would agree with the parallel beginnings of agriculture in other regions of the world during a period of profound environmental change when the Pleistocene was transitioning into the Holocene," Lu Houyuan, professor of the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, was done in collaboration with Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Relics and Archaeology and the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From southern China, domesticated rice diffused to South and Southeast Asia. Today, many Asian countries become more rice-dependent than China is. Most Filipino people refuse to eat a meal without rice. That's why even MacDonald outlets in the Philippines have to serve rice.
