The handful of 15,000-year-old burnt grains was discovered by archaeologists in Korea.
Hmmm, something strange going on here. Korea was under a glacier 15,000 years ago.
Imported rice from southern Asia, 15,000 years ago??

For goodness sake, it's still rice. It is not half rice half some primitive ancestor.
No kidding. Rice from 50 years ago is different from rice now because us humans have been modifying it to be hardier and more productive. To call this evolution is just plain stupid and dishonest.

Maps aside, you will find numerous existing glaciers their today as well as evidence of wide spread coverage.
Pyongyang, October 9 (KCNA) -- Evidences of glacier have recently been discovered around Mt. Kumgang in Korea and scientifically proved. The glacial terrain of the mountain includes a cirque, a u-shaped glacial valley, the site of a glacial lake, a glacial terrace, a heap of moraine, a sharp ridge, a glacier snout, crevasse, moraine, signs of scraping on rocks, curved rocks and holes caused by icy water. Sediments contain many spore and pollen fossils. Most of the spore and pollen fossils belong to the species that are fond of cold weather. Needle-leaf plant pollen fossils were discovered en masse. Fungi and algae fossils were also discovered in large numbers. There remain many descendants of plants that lived in cold weather. The discovery of evidences of glacier around Mt. Kumgang is of great academic significance in that they show there was glacier in a place lower than and south of Mt. Onjin in Yonsan and Suan counties, North Hwanghae Province. The discovery is another scientific and theoretical proof that there was an ice age in Korea.
