People living along southeastern Europe’s Danube River around 11,500 years ago never planted a crop but still laid the foundation for the rise of farming in that region some 3,000 years later, a new study finds.

Hunter-gatherers living in this part of Europe avidly gathered and ate wild cereal grains for several millennia before migrants from southwest Asia introduced the cultivation of domesticated cereals and other plants, say archaeologist Emanuela Cristiani of Sapienza University of Rome and her colleagues.
A well-established taste for wild cereals among hunter-gatherers of the central Balkan Peninsula, near what’s now Turkey, smoothed the way for farming to take root in Europe, the scientists conclude January 21 in eLife.

Previous chemical studies of human bones from Balkan sites indicated that ancient hunter-gatherers had eaten a lot of animal protein, mainly fish. Plant remains have not preserved well at those sites, leaving uncertain any role for grains on the menu of people who lived there.

It’s now evident that Balkan hunter-gatherers “balanced their diet with plant foods and did so for millennia before the arrival of agriculture,” Cristiani says.

The new findings align with earlier evidence that hunter-gatherers in southwest Asia gradually domesticated wild plant species from around 11,700 to 9,800 years ago, rather than rapidly adopting a farming lifestyle (SN: 7/4/13). But in the Balkans, hunter-gatherers consumed wild cereal species unrelated to domesticated strains later brought from southwest Asia, Cristiani’s team says.

Until now, the only site outside southwest Asia to yield evidence of hunter-gatherers collecting edible wild plants before the introduction of farming was a cave in Greece.

Cristiani’s group looked for microscopic signs of plant eating on the teeth of 60 individuals previously excavated at five sites in Serbia and Romania. Those sites range in age from several thousand years before the introduction of farming to several hundred years after cultivation began.

Food particles extracted from crusty deposits on the teeth of ancient hunter-gatherers contained starch granules and cell structures typical of regional wild cereal species. Starch granules from the same wild cereals were identified on the grinding surfaces of 17 stone implements, dating to as early as around 8,600 years ago, that were previously unearthed at one Balkan site. Hunter-gatherers at that location apparently pounded and ground wild cereals into a coarse flour, the researchers say.

Their findings provide the first direct evidence that southern European as well as southwestern Asian hunter-gatherers incorporated wild plants into their diets well before anyone cultivated crops, says archaeobotanist Elena Marinova of the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Württemberg in Germany. For those ancient people, “the ‘paleolithic’ diet included starchy grains, not only meat and berries,” Marinova says.

Corveta Europe ??!

What struck me about the twitter entry itself, was and is, that it came from Corteva Agriscience Europe, who is speaking about "Our love affair with agriculture". Hm ok, how sweet.

But when you study their homepage, it is about herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, insecticides and Nematicides...:umm: deliciously wrapped on silver platters and slick slogans, promises with spotlights under the umbrella of "better solutions" and "innovations".

"Corteva Agriscience aspires to help farmers produce the food society will demand, in the way that society demands it. With Corteva as their partner, farmers have effective seed and crop protection products that the market demands today, and the solutions that will optimize their profitability for tomorrow".

Arylex™ Active Herbicide
Inatreq™ Active
Isoclast™ Active Insecticide
Jemvelva™ active (spinetoram)
Pyraxalt™ Active
Qalcova™ active
Reklemel™ Active Herbicide
Zorvec™ Active


So, yeah, what a freak love affair that is, when Corveta is having a "Love affair with Agriculture". The middle man networks (together with most similar companies doing the same) selling the products Big Pharma is creating; to poison humanity (essentially), while at the same time making great amounts of silver dollars on that misery.

No wonder they 'love' agriculture.
