Ornamental plant domestication by aesthetics-driven human cultural niche construction

Arie Altman et al.

Summary: This article examines the link between the biology of ornamental plant domestication and sociocultural motivations, proposing specific elements such as cumulative cultural evolution, plant gene-human culture coevolution, and niche construction. It suggests that ornamental plant domestication represents an aesthetics-driven dimension of human niche construction, evolving alongside socioeconomic changes and the adoption of new scientific technologies.

The origins of agriculture: Intentions and consequences

Glynis Jones et al.

Summary: The synthesis of a large programme of plant ecological research suggests that ecological processes and unintended consequences of human actions may have played a significant role in the emergence of agriculture in western Asia, potentially more so than previously thought. The coevolutionary mechanisms between humans and plants could have been a key factor in the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agricultural way of life.

Why are population growth rate estimates of past and present hunter-gatherers so different?

Miikka Tallavaara et al.

Summary: Estimates of hunter-gatherer population growth rates differ significantly between archaeological and ethnographic sources, with archaeological proxies lacking the resolution to detect actual population dynamics observed in historical and ethnographic data. This suggests that hunter-gatherer populations cannot exhibit long-term growth independently of increasing environmental productivity.

De-Domestication: An Extension of Crop Evolution

Dongya Wu et al.

Summary: Researchers summarized the process of crop de-domestication, the ecological roles of de-domesticates, the mechanisms underlying crop de-domestication syndromes, and the conditions favoring de-domestication events. Recent de-domestication studies have expanded our understanding of the complexity of crop evolution and highlighted the genetic novelties of de-domesticates beneficial for modern crop breeding.

Is Domestication Speciation? The Implications of a Messy Domestication Model in the Holocene

Jennifer Bates

Summary: Domestication is a fundamental process that has shaped our world in the last 12,000 years, with changes in the morphology, genetics, and behavior of plants and animals redefining our interactions with our environments and ourselves. The choice of 'species' definitions has significant implications for our interpretations in the domestication process, and caution is needed when dealing with this challenging classificatory system.

Estimating the global number and distribution of maize and wheat farms

Olaf Erenstein et al.

Summary: Strategic planning for global agricultural R&D is hindered by a lack of comparable data on target populations, but our estimation approach can help address this issue and estimate the number of farms growing different crops at various geographic scales, contributing to enhanced agricultural investment programming.
