Origin of annual crops by agro-evolution

The emergence of agriculture, which occurred some 10,000 years ago, was a long process that included profound changes in human habits, as well as significant evolutionary changes in plants. It is suggested that the evolution from wild to domesticated crops had actually occurred in the cultivated fields. The agro-evolution suggested here means the evolutionary process of genotypes' accumulation in domesticated wheat or barley, in fields where their progenitors were growing. Consequently, hundreds of years were required before successful domestication was achieved.
