This volume is the first to look at both plant and animal
domestication in a global context using both archaeological and
genetic evidence. It has cross-over appeal with both archaeologists
and biologists. The origins of agriculture has always been a
controversial subject, so no doubt some will disagree with certain
aspects of this volume. It will be an important contribution to a
rich, ongoing debate. Respected and international group of
scientists are the authors. Agriculture is the lever with which
humans transformed the earth over the last 10,000 years and created
new forms of plant and animal species that have forever altered the
face of the planet. In the last decade, significant technological
and methodological advances in both molecular biology and
archaeology have revolutionized the study of plant and animal
domestication and are reshaping our understanding of the transition
from foraging to farming, one of the major turning points in human
history. archaeologists and biologists working on the domestication
of both plants and animals to consider a wide variety of
archaeological and genetic approaches to tracing the origin and
dispersal of domesticates. It provides a comprehensive overview of
the state of the art in this quickly changing field as well as
reviews of recent findings on specific crop and livestock species
