Emergence of Agriculture

"Bruce Smith brings us a vividly illustrated account of the parallel, but regionally unique, development of food crops and human cultures worldwide. He describes clues inadvertently left behind by the old farmers, and new deciphering techniques employed by biologists and archaeologists to understand the past. Of special interest is the revelation that most crop plants were developed by people already living in large, affluent, sedentary settlements near rich aquatic resources."Smith, Bruce D. is the author of 'Emergence of Agriculture' with ISBN 9780756756109 and ISBN 0756756103.
