This book proposes a new and more complex model for understanding the transition from hunting and gathering to cultivation. It argues that such developments evolved regionally, were fluid and uneven, and were subject to reversal.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'... a seminal volume that will be referenced and discussed for decades ... Essential for any anthropologist, archaeologist, or botanist, interested in the origins of New World agriculture or domestic plants, as well as for model-building in this issue worldwide.' David Browman, Choice

'[This book] brings us altogether closer to rooting our particular devil out of these emerging details. It will be required reading for those interested in the foundations of Andean civilisation, or indeed the origins of food production worldwide.' David Beresford-Jones, McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge
