The domestication of the potato serves as the focus of this synthesis of ethnobotany and chemical ecology. Johns considers the evolution of the human use of plants, the ways in which humans obtain foods from among the myriad poisonous and unpalatable plants in the environment, and the consequences of this history for understanding the basis of the human diet.
