This book is about the origins of agriculture and plant domestication that occurred in the Neolithic Near East 10,500 years ago. It is directed not only to an academic audience but to students, a broad readership of knowledge-seekers, and we believe it may be relevant to modern plant breeders, agronomists and farmers.
