In latest @NatureHumBehav Dolores Piperno's piece (https://t.co/KOnMcvVAoC) highlights our team's work on agricultural origins: "[Kavanagh et al] provide a novel and robust assessment of... agricultural beginnings,... prompting new insights into present and future empirical data"

[Nature Human Behaviour @NatureHumBehav]

Ameliorating climate and growing population densities may have facilitated the development of agriculture in ancient centres of origin around the globe. A new model informed by contemporary forager demography, by researchers at @ColoradoStateU & @MPI_SHH https://t.co/kT5VuwOfus

We have a new paper led by @PHKavanagh in @NatureHumBehav:
Hindcasting global population densities reveals forces enabling the origin of agriculture (https://t.co/0LTSSxY3p2).
