This extensive work explores the origins of cultivated plants, focusing on their historical cultivation, geographical spread, and the factors that contributed to their domestication. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between plants and early civilizations, engaging readers interested in botany, agriculture, and history. At the start of the book, the author introduces the subject by emphasizing the importance of understanding the origins of cultivated plants for various audiences, including agriculturists, botanists, and historians. He reflects on the complexities involved in determining the native habitats of different species and critiques historical inaccuracies regarding the origins that have persisted through time.
