Although the bronze age and the iron age quaver, the Stone age stands like a rock against the quakes of time and scholarshio?

I believe that the tough outer husk was not completely genetically for all varieties removed save for one strain.

That strain gave us Pop Corn.

I get parched just looking at it. Most of the grains aboriginal peoples harvested around here were pretty chaffy. Final yields were likely horrible. OTOH, they labored so in part due to sympatric competition.

It would be interesting to juxtapose technological timelines from different parts of the world for sequences and discontinuities. It might do a lot to help identify what was holding things back for so long in more “primitive” societies.

To me, with the example of meso-American cities really not that far away, it is strange to me that so many North American Indians were so backward by comparison for so long, particularly because sign language was so uniform.

The study further suggests that after about 4350 B.C., the diversity of Neolithic crops declined,...

Possibly because they found the best grain to make good beer....
