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 1995
; Bar-Yosef 1998
; Diamond 1998
; Moore, Hillman, and Legge 2000
; Zohary and Hopf 2000
; Gopher, Abbo, and Lev-Yadun 2002
). 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 1996
; Moore, Hillman, and Legge 2000
; Zohary and Hopf 2000
; Gopher, Abbo, and Lev-Yadun 2002
). Second, seeds
