<< The jist or conjecture is wheat and human share a common series of evolution with each other. >>


Why can't domestic wheat interbreed with emmer grass?

Because domestic wheat is a descendant of wild emmer grass, through mutations and natural and human-directed selection. Now, domestic wheat is a different species.

IOW -- speciation.

If you would like more examples of speciation, just let me know. If you would like to continue holding your hands over your ears and closing your eyes tight -- that only says something about you, not the evidence.

This proves wheat is of the same kind. Much like wolves probably begat dogs. But if the DNA has been artifically manipulated, then it's a different issue.

What's your take on Haung's conclusion?
