AI synopsis
What people are saying
The discussions reveal enthusiasm for the groundbreaking nature of the research, exemplified by posts highlighting evidence of cultivation 23,000 years ago and stating that this challenges the orthodox timeline of 12,000 years. The tone alternates between curiosity and skepticism, with mentions of specific archaeological sites like Ohalo II and references to technological artifacts, which demonstrate active engagement and recognition of the potential impact on understanding human history.
Most discussions acknowledge the findings of early evidence of cultivation, challenging the traditional timeline of agriculture's origins.
The engagement with the topic is high, with many posts referencing the research and expressing curiosity, as seen in questions and comments about the age of farming.
Posts include observations about archaeological discoveries, technological details like grinding stones and sickles, and debates about the implications, showing active engagement.
While some recognize the significance of the findings in rewriting agricultural history, the overall perceived influence on broader understanding remains moderate.
Abstract in brief
- The study explores the origins of weeds and early plant interactions by examining a 23,000-year-old site in Israel, where hunter-gatherers gathered, processed, and possibly cultivated wild cereals like wheat and barley.
- Researchers found 13 current weed species among the plant remains, indicating that weed development was already underway in human-influenced environments well before the start of formal agriculture.
- These findings suggest that early humans may have made small-scale efforts to cultivate wild cereals, creating conditions that led to the evolution of protoweeds many millennia before modern farming began.]

Rather, at least as far back as 23k-ish years ago (some) humans were experimenting with and exploiting the wild ancestors of wheat, oats, barley. These were HGs in Northern Israel. They had grinding stones, charred grain remains, stone sickles. https://t.co/JWPfSGbSBH
