Genetics and geography of wild cereal domestication in the near east
TL;DR: A better understanding of the genetic differences between wild grasses and domesticated crops adds important facets to the continuing debate on the origin of Western agriculture and the societies to which it gave rise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agricultural Origins: Centers and Noncenters
TL;DR: The theory that agriculture originated independently in three different areas and that, in each case, there was a system composed of a center of origin and a noncenter, in which activities of domestication were dispersed over a span of 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers is proposed.
