History and Domestication
The cultivation of cotton dates back millennia, with archaeological evidence suggesting independent domestication events across several continents. Wild cotton species likely originated in the vast, semi-arid plains of the Tethys Ocean basin, which explains the fiber's natural tendency toward slight desiccation when exposed to direct ultraviolet radiation [2].
