How fast was wild wheat domesticated?

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 31 Mar 2006

Tanno Ken-Ichi, Willcox George

Abstract excerpt

Prehistoric cultivation of wild wheat in the Fertile Crescent led to the selection of mutants with indehiscent (nonshattering) ears, which evolved into modern domestic wheat. Previous estimates suggested that this transformation was rapid, but our analyses of archaeological plant remains demonstrate that indehiscent domesticates were slow to appear, emerging approximately 9500 years before the present, and that...
