No one. Corn pops naturally, although varieties can be bred to accentuate the effect.
I was raised on a farm and we raised popcorn sometimes. Most of the corn we raised was field corn, though. They don't look the same. I have a corn burner I heat my house with now, though. I was surprised to find that sometimes the field corn I fuel it with pops just like a kernel of Orville Redenbacher's. Pops great sometimes. So, all corn has moisture and starch in it, and is capable of popping. There are hundreds of native varieties of corn, mostly from Central and South America, and from them we derive all of our modern varieties of corn, popping and otherwise.
The native americans of central America would have discovered popcorn, but they didn't invent it.

I'm not sure but I thought I read something in high school about the early colonists of colonial america being shown how to pop corn by the indians. If I remember correctly, corn was new to the colonists?
