Origin of Domesticated Plants

Most domesticated food plants have been selected for:
• large plant parts
• soft edible tissue
• thick flesh with intense color
• fruits attached to tough stems
![Page 7: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How much domestication?
• About 5000 species have been grown for human food – less than 1% of all plant species
• Today about 150 species are commercially grown for food (not including spices)
• About 50 very productive species supply almost all of our caloric needs
![Page 8: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of Domestication
• 10,000 years ago, before agriculture began, the world’s total human population was about 5 million. There was one person for every 25 square kilometers. Today we have more than 7.24 billion people, with a density of just over 25 people per square kilometer
![Page 9: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
As agriculture developed humans selected for:
1. Plants that provide enough calories to meet our basic energy needs. This usually comes from cereal grain or root carbohydrates.
2. We also selected for a balanced nutritional intake - this tends to develop in any system where the cultivator eats and depends upon on what he/she grows.

Maize productivity
• Maize is tremendously productive - a typical Iowa cornfield will produce 3500 - 4000 g of carbon per meter squared per year - The most productive tropical rainforest or coastal salt marsh produce about 3500 g of carbon per meter squared per year
![Page 46: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Maize productivity
• Maize is so valuable because it is productive across a huge range of conditions – temperate to tropical (following adaptation to different day lengths)
• Among modern cereal grains it is the most efficient in converting water and carbon dioxide into grains food
• However, it requires large amounts of nutrients and current high yields such as occur in farm land around here require the input of tremendous amounts of fertilizer

Beginnings of the Anasazi
• During their so-called Archaic Period (5500 - 100 BCE) the Anasazi were hunter-gatherers - they lived mostly on roasted seeds of Indian grass (Oryzopsis sp.), cattails (Typha lattifolia), salt bush (Atriplex canescens - Chenopodiaceae), and sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella - Polygonaceae); Rabbits and a few deer provided the bulk of the animal protein in the diet - they lived mostly in caves or in depressions with simple coverings made of juniper branches (Juniperus scopulorum - Cupressaceae)

Changes to Anasazi life
• About 100 BCE, maize plants arrived and Anasazi life began to change - at first the Anasazi did not adopt maize except as a novelty
• About 100 BCE, Anasazi made a change to the so called Basket Maker II lifestyle in which they made baskets, sandals, and nets woven from yucca fibers (Yucca baccata - Agavaceae)
![Page 58: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Basket Maker III
• Basket maker III was from about 400 - 700 AD - here they became much more agricultural - probably due to the arrival of beans Phaseolus vulgaris (pinto and kidney beans) and P. acutifolius (tepary or pavi beans)
• The Anasazi began to select maize varieties with larger ears and more productivity
• They also begin to experiment with irrigation and developed or acquired bows and arrows
![Page 61: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Pueblo I
• Pueblo I lasted from 700-900 AD - here the Anasazi adopted an increasingly sedentary lifestyle with advances in basketry and pottery, cotton was used for cloth, dwellings were made of stone above ground with pit houses transformed into ceremonial kivas
• Large stores of grain made higher populations possible and also led to warfare and raiding for grain
![Page 64: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Pueblo II and III
• Pueblo II (900 - 1100 AD) and Pueblo III ( 1100 - 1300 AD) saw the development of even larger towns and cities, dwellings were built in cliffs for protection - made very sophisticated baskets and pottery, had highly developed irrigation systems - may have used captive turkeys for meat, feeding them on grain
• Then from 1276 to 1299 there was 23 years of continuous drought - the Anasazi ultimately abandoned their cities and moved south to better drainage areas - today their descendents survive as the Zuni, Hopi, and Rio Grande Pueblo tribes

For Love of the Potato
![Page 69: Food Plants. Modern Day Inuit - Greenland Contemporary Hunter-Gatherers The San Bushmen](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56649ee15503460f94bf1281/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
The Potato Comes to Europe
• The potato came to Europe about 1565 - at first, most people in Europe, including the Irish, used the potato as a back up for grain production, but by the end of the 17th century, it had become an important winter food; by the mid-eighteenth century it was a general field crop and provided the staple diet of small farmers during most of the year
