Western agriculture and its most important crop plants are thought to have originated about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, a geographical region extending from modern-day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and western Syria into southeastern Turkey and along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers into Iraq and Iran (Smith 1995Citation ; Bar-Yosef 1998Citation ; Diamond 1998Citation ; Moore, Hillman, and Legge 2000Citation ; Zohary and Hopf 2000Citation ; Gopher, Abbo, and Lev-Yadun 2002Citation ). Two traditional lines of evidence support that view. First, the geographical distributions of wild progenitors of modern cereal species, among them wild wheats (Triticum urartu, T. boeoticum, T. dicoccoides, Aegilops tauschii), wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum), and wild rye (S. vavilovii), intersect in this region (Nesbitt and Samuel 1996Citation ; Moore, Hillman, and Legge 2000Citation ; Zohary and Hopf 2000Citation ; Gopher, Abbo, and Lev-Yadun 2002Citation ). Second, seeds . . . [Full Text of this Article]
