TL;DR: The transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture was without a doubt one of the most significant eras in the evolution of humans as discussed by the authors, leading to population increases, labor specialization (and especially a nonagricultural sector), the formation of villages, cities, and states, and the rise of more hierarchical societies and states.

A new hypothesis for the origin of pentaploid Holcus from diploid Holcus lanatus L. and tetraploid Holcus mollis L. in France
TL;DR: In the light of the results, the assumption that the pentaploid hybrid H.m.×H.l. is purely clonal is reconsidered and new hypotheses concerning the origin of thepentaploids hybrid and its reproduction are proposed, and the consequences for genetic diversity in natural populations discussed.
Gene flow and introgression between domesticated crops and their wild relatives
TL;DR: Gene flow between crops and their wild relatives is an important process that has strong implications both for conservation of genetic diversity and for plant breeding.
