This species is a major model organism and it has been studied at the Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, since 1979. The domestication by humans of wild plants to cultivated ones during the last ten millennia is one of the best demonstrations of evolution. It is a process that has been condensed in time and advanced by artificial rather than natural selection. Plant and animal domestication revolutionized human cultural evolution and is the major factor underlying human civilization. A post-Pleistocene global rise in temperature following the ice age, i.e., climatic-environmental factors, may have induced the expansion of econom ically important thermophilous plants and in turn promoted complex forag ing and plant cultivation. The shift from foraging to steady production led to an incipient agriculture varying in time in various part of the world. In the Levant, agriculture developed out of an intensive specialized ex | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | Evolution; cereals; crop improvement; evolutionary biology; genetic mapping; genetic resources; genetics; g | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-07140-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-07512-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-07140-3 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002 |
