David Rindos (1984)
I'm waiting for my book, but also bought an e-book that came out recently.
Rindos still seems a compass to review the origins of agriculture.
He reinforces the great contributions of the authors who have dealt with the issue until that time to understand the origins of agriculture.
However, he clarifies errors in some approaches used to try to explain "origins of agriculture." Rindos exposes a paradox that seems still not resolved.
For Darwin, cultivated plants were the safest evidence to develop the work of origins of species. Now the other way, Back to the Future, why would it not be right for us in the approaches of the origins of agriculture? The errors that Rindos clarifies, it seems, are still not accepted.
