There's a funny section in I think Sapiens (Yuval Noah Harari?) where he quips that that wheat domesticated the naked ape. Got him to plow the fields, get rid of the rocks, sew the seeds...
I’m not sure where the idea came from, but Michael Pollan has also propagated in his books this idea that human beings have been domesticated by plants. See, The Botany of Desire.
