Abstract:
Highlights some of the key innovations in human behaviours, such as soil preparation, harvesting and threshing, and discusses how these were coupled with genetic 'innovations' within plant populations. Identifies a number of 'traps' for early cultivators, including the needs for extra labour expenditure on crop-processing and soil fertility maintenance, but also linked gains in terms of potential crop yields. Compilations of quantitative data across a few different crops for the traits of non-shattering and seed size are discussed in terms of the apparently slow process of domestication, and parallels and differences between different regional pathways are identified. Argues for a need to bridge the gap between a Neolithic archaeobotanical focus on domestication and a focus of later periods on crop-processing activities and labour organization.
