Although agriculture is only about 10,000 years old, humans have been gathering and eating wild grains for 30,000.

Which is an order of magnitude less than the 200,000 years that we've been anatomically modern - although who is to say that they didn't gather wild grains back then, too.

Of course, even 10,000 years is more than enough time for evolution to change us.
