Domestication of Plants in the Old World. Zohary, D., Hopf, M., & Weiss, E. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2000.
abstract   bibtex   
The origin of agriculture is one of the defining events of human history. Some 11-10,000 years ago bands of hunter-gatherers started to abandon their high-mobility lifestyles in favour of growing crops, and the creation of settled, sedentary communities. This shift into agricultural lifestyle triggered the evolution of complex political and economic structures, and technological developments, and ultimately underpinned the rise of all the great civilisations of recent human history.
