The Origins of Plant Cultivation and Domestication in the New World Tropics: Patterns, Process, and New Developments
Abstract
The New World tropical forest is now considered to be an early and independent cradle of agriculture. As in other areas of the world, our understanding of this issue has been significantly advanced by a steady stream of archaeobotanical, paleoecological, and molecular/genetic data. Also importantly, a renewed focus on formulating testable theories and explanations for the transition from foraging to food production has led to applications from subdisciplines of ecology, economy, and evolution not previously applied to agricultural origins. Most recently, the integration of formerly separated disciplines, such as developmental and evolutionary biology, is causing reconsiderations of how novel phenotypes, including domesticated species, originate and the influence of artificial selection on the domestication process. It is becoming clear that the more interesting question may be the origins of plant cultivation rather than the origins of agriculture. This paper reviews this body of evidence and assesses current views about how and why domestication and plant food production arose.

Spatial relationships between plants potentially used in the past for raw materials and ancient settlements of different sizes and spatial arrangements remain poorly understood.
“While the distribution of tree species exploited for food is relatively well documented18–20, the spatial relationships between plants that could potentially be used in the past for raw materials and ancient settlements of different sizes and spatial arrangements remain poorly understood.”

“…variation that may enable the creation of novelties through developmentalmediated mechanisms is “cryptic genetic variation,” so named because it is unexpressed in the phenotype of standing populations and thus normally hidden from selection (e.g., Gibson and Dworkin 2004; Lauter and Doebley 2002).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
