Does not the archeological finds of anchor stones from Chinese junkets off the
the west coast of the states make an equally valid observation that peanuts
MAY have been introduced to the New World by Chinese traders during pre-
Columbian times?
There is also evidence, IIANM, that a form of miniature corn forund in China
predated Columbus as well as the possibility that certain capsicum varieties
also existed in China pre-Columbian. Thgis is not to say that they are native
of China necessarily but the possibility exists. that these plants were
introduced by the Chi8nese through trade with early American Indian cultures.
Thoughts?
