The early history of agriculture: a discussion organized jointly for the Royal Society and the British Academy by Sir Joseph Hutchinson, FRS, Grahame Clark, FBA, E M Jope, FBA and R Riley, FRS

Grahame Clark (pp 1-5) examines the close interaction between social systems and methods of food procurement. J R Harlan (13-25) examines distributions of wild progenitors as a key to regions of domestication, taking four limiting factors into account. Axel Steensberg (43-54) has traced digging tools throughout Eurasia and studied the transition from rope traction ard to ard plough; benefits of vegetation burning are also mentioned. Two papers on cytogenetics follow and M R Jarman (85-97) then considers domestication as a manifestation of human behaviour, identifying at least six stages, from random predation to factory farming. E M Jope (99-116) expounds the amino-acid approach to the study of controlled animal breeding. E S Higgs (159-73) classifies economies according to their ecological niche (heavy or light soil, etc) and enlists the territorial concept to estimate the potential of sites in Spain, Italy and Bulgaria. Lowland exploitation is H N Jarman's subject: she defines (175-86) two zones, of high and low arable potential, in which even after technological advance the fundamental pattern remains constant. The cumulative effects of human intervention on British vegetation cover and soils are traced by G W Dimbleby (197-208).
