- Abstract:
The article focuses on archaeological findings on the domestication of rice. It states that archaeologist Dorian Fuller and dig director Guo-Ping Sun led a research team in the city of Hangzhou to analyze plant remains, including wild rice spikelets. It mentions the findings suggest the domestication of rice was still underway 6,600 years ago, contrary to beliefs that rice domestication began 10,000 years ago in China.
