Comment on A daunting realization

Yuval Noah Harari light heartedly raises the question in his book Sapiens, of whether men domesticated wheat or wheat domesticated humans.
Humans went from wandering through the world exploring and foraging, to doing the back breaking work to grow and farm wheat.
Wheat went from being fairly unsuccessful in evolutionary terms, to covering something like 20% of the earths surface !

Something similar is suggested to a lesser extent about psychedelic mushrooms by Melvin Sheldrake in Entangled Life. No where near the same scale as wheat, of course.
