When did hominids begin this 'non-
agricultural' plant cultivation?

It would be wise first to consult a recent textbook on the matter,
such as
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/book.asp?ref=9780631205661&site=1

And according to this source agriculture has multiple primary origins
around the world, but there is no evidence for crop cultivation on a
detectable scale much earlier than the Holocene.
What tangible evidence, instead of speculation, is there to the
contrary?

This theory requires the simultaneous
sprinkling of 'fairy dust' all over the
globe -- presumably by aliens.

It's not a theory that, at first sight,
appeals to me. Still, if you like it,
don't let me discourage you.
Science must be lead by 'evidence'.

Where do you think those aliens
came from?
