Reply #126: can you kindly cite one crop that was developed by "traditional"

breeding methods over a 100,000 year period.

that's a very interesting claim considering that modern humans only emerged 50,000 odd years ago:


In 1985, the generally accepted (Eurocentric) view on human evolution was that modern humans evolved some time around 50,000 years in Africa, replaced Neanderthals in the Levant around 45,000 years and colonised Europe by replacing Neanderthals around 40,000 to 35,000 years

so basically, what you're claiming is that the breeding of any extant crop has been a seemless, age-old, collaborative effort between neanderthals and humans?

that's simply amazing, on many levels. particularly, if you happen to have read (and understood) post #37.
