Re: Agricultural Origins

I dont see other farmers driven out til way later. There was just too
much land yet unfarmed to pioneer in.

The definition gets fuzzed too when they dig into a bone midden and
find the traces of over 100 wild plants & animals mixed in with
domestic strains. How much domestic food does a community need to rely
on to call them "farmers"?

Arkansas Ozarks was one of the last places where people let hogs run
wild in the woods to fatten up on acorns. Then, during winter, some
sows returned with their litters to where they remembered being fed
the previous winter. Some winters were so mild they didnt bother. So,
are the razorbacks "domesticated"?
