Abstract
A critical and extensive resume, with a useful chronological chart (Fig.) subdivided by geographical areas, covering 11,000[long dash]5000 B.P. (before present). Goats and sheep were domesticated in southwest Asia about the 7th millenium, cattle a bit later, pigs still later. Cereal agriculture and the settled village antedate all animal domestication save the dog. The "food-producing revolution" of the Near East was not precipitated by a dramatic end-of-Pleistocene environmental shift.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
