This book integrates population genetics with the anthropological and historical aspects of plant domestication. It begins with a detailed description of the natural and human-directed forces that shape plant populations and ends with a brief review of the evolution of our major crops. Coverage of homosapiens is included along with the origin of agriculture, and special emphasis is placed on patterns of change in major crops. The book is aimed at scientists involved in plant genetics, evolution, breeding, taxonomy and ecology.
