The domestication of plants began at least 12,000 years ago with cereals in the . In other parts of the world very different species were domesticated.

The domestication of plants began at least 12,000 years ago with cereals in the Middle East, and the bottle gourd in Asia. Agriculture developed in at least 11 different centres around the world, domesticating different crops and animals. In the Americas squash, maize, beans, and perhaps manioc (also known as cassava) formed the core of the diet. In East Asia millet, rice, and soy were the most important crops. Cultivation and domestication had multiple origins: arguments against the core area hypothesis for the origins of agriculture in the Near East".
