Plant behaviour from human imprints and the cultivation of wild cereals in Holocene Sahara.

Nature plants - 1 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

The human selection of food plants cannot always have been aimed exclusively at isolating the traits typical of domesticated species today. Each phase of global change must have obliged plants and humans to cope with and develop innovative adaptive strategies. Hundreds of thousands of wild cereal seeds from the Holocene 'green Sahara' tell a story of cultural trajectories and environmental instability revealing...
