The text speaks of eight species, including four pulses, but the list has nine species, including five pulses. Which is right? -- 85.182.127.103 13:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I am only superficially familiar with the history but presumably the creation of these crops in the Fertile Crescent is the origin of agriculture in Europe/North Africa, West Asia (this should be stated clearly). What is not discussed is the theories on founder crops in China, the Americas, etc. Whether those bears description here or bear description in some other articles is debatable but at minimum the article should clarify this.

As mentioned by the user at 163.181.251.9, the name promises information about early crops from the entire Neolithic world, but in the initial paragraph identifies that the only area to be considered is the "Fertile Crescent". The writer actually dismisses the inclusion of rye (Anatolian cultivation of which antedates all the listed crops) because he feels it had little effect on the limited geographic area being discussed. Perhaps the title could be changed or the present article exported to "Neolithic Crops of the Fertile Crescent." Until it can be modified, however, I have added a paragraph warning readers of the shortcomings. 24 June, 2020 Ethnic laundry ( talk)
...the article really needs structure. At this point it looks like a drawer of stuff or an accumulation over time with random sedimentation of info in the lede that nobody seems to want to properly organize in meaningful sections in the body. As has been pointed out above since at least 2007 (!) a definition or the theory on founder crops is missing. Wuerzele ( talk) 21:03, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
a drawer of stuff or an accumulation over time with random sedimentation of info in the lede. I haven't reverted everything and have explained why I've reverted what I have. So thanks for the constructive response. – Joe ( talk) 08:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
