Using archaeogenomic and computational approaches to unravel the history of local adaptation in crops
Our understanding of the evolution of domestication has changed radically in the past 10
years, from a relatively simplistic rapid origin scenario to a protracted complex process in …

Archaeogenomics and crop adaptation
The genetic history of domestic plants is complex, protracted, and unique to often very
specific factors including location, human intent, and the wider environment. In addition to …

Domestication as innovation: the entanglement of techniques, technology and chance in the domestication of cereal crops
The origins of agriculture involved pathways of domestication in which human behaviours
and plant genetic adaptations were entangled. These changes resulted in consequences …
