Rice is one of the most important crops to be domesticated globally, with both Asia (Oryza sativa L.) and Africa (Oryza glaberrima Steud.) discussed as primary centres of domestication. However, until now the pre-Columbian domestication of rice in the Americas has not been documented. Here ...
O. glaberrimaSteud. is an African species of rice that was independently domesticated from the wild progenitorO. barthii∼3,000 years ago1, 6,000–7,000 years after the domestication of Asian rice (O. sativa)2,3. Rice cultivation had a central role in building strong, knowledgeable and ...
This paper is a response, both to Fuller et al.'s recent criticism of Chinese research on rice domestication, as lacking evidence, and to their argument for the beginning of rice domestication around 4000 BC in the lower Yangzi River. We first survey previous publications that discuss the proc...

A new study analyzing stone tools from southern China provides the earliest evidence of rice harvesting, dating to as early as 10,000 years ago. The researchers identified two methods of harvesting rice, which helped start rice domestication(家庭种植). To harvest rice, some sort of tools would...

Once the idea of planting diffused, Africans began to develop their owncrops, such as certain varieties of rice, and they demonstrated a continued receptiveness to new imports.T he proposed areas of the domestication of Africancrops lie in a band that extends from Ethiopia across southern Sudan ...
Compared to previous semi-continental-scale publications primarily dealing with the onset of millet domestication and the spread of millet cultivation (e.g. Leipe et al., 2019; Wang et al., 2019; Li et al., 2020; Stevens et al., 2021), the current paper has a regional focus. For examp...
