This volume offers a global comparative perspective, challenging the conventional dichotomy between \"hunter-gatherers\" and \"farmers.\" Harris argues that human exploitation of plant resources is better understood as a continuous global evolutionary process, encompassing both the beginnings of cultivation and crop domestication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from a wide range of geographical contexts, from the Andes and China to Australia and the Upper Mid-West of North America, this book provides a diverse and inclusive examination of plant use across different cultures and environments. Each chapter highlights how various societies interacted with and domesticated plants, making this work invaluable to anthropologists, archaeologists, botanists, and geographers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1989, the book remains an essential resource for those studying early agricultural practices and the cultural evolution of plant use. Harris’s interdisciplinary approach also makes the book relevant to scholars from various disciplines, offering insights into the interplay between human societies and their natural environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49937597464880,"sku":"Sarat_9781138817906","price":4547.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-foraging-and-farming-the-evolution-of-plant-exploitation-routledge-library-editions-archaeology-41280090472752.jpg?v=1775941903","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/foraging-and-farming-the-evolution-of-plant-exploitation-routledge-library-editions-archaeology","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
