Otzi the Iceman preceded spread of millet, but he ate einkorn wheat, which was first cultivated in Asia Minor, not an insignificant spread from there to the Italian Alps 3500 BC, but which took some 6000 years to get there.

Pearl millet was domesticated in Africa, probably in Ethiopia, in 3000 BC, maybe as early as 6000 BC.
