An interesting article, accompanied by an approximately 15 minute video (The First Entanglement), questions the conventional wisdom that humans domesticated plants. Once grasses developed non-shattering seeds, they became dependent on humans for planting. Once humans discovered the non-shattering seeds that they could plant they needed to develop technology and increase their popluations so they could benefit from agriculture. The work was hard and has led us to the spiraling cycle of population, agriculture, and technology. To some extent, humans became dependent on the plants and could be said to have been domesticated to serve the needs of the plant.
