Genomics Evidence and the Origins of Agriculture introduces the origins of agriculture and the processes involved in domestication. This book synthesizes the information obtained on studies using genomics and presents it in the context of work from other fields. Focussing not simply on the processes at work in domestication, but also on the effects upon human health, this book also covers consideration of pathogens, the spread of technology, and human movement and admixture as well as the domestication of plants and animals. Geneticists and physical and cultural anthropologists will find this book useful.
