 0\n\nPresented by Ofer Bar-Yosef\, Harvard University.  The transition fro
 m hunting and gathering to cultivation of wild plants was initiated by sem
 i-sedentary communities some 11\,000 years ago. Among the earliest East As
 ian pioneering foragers were those who lived in North China who started cu
 ltivating wild millet. Within one or two millennia the annually cultivated
  millet became domesticated and was joined by corralling and eventual dome
 stication of pigs. Stable food production and storage allowed for a rapid 
 demographic increase and the spread of villages to the periphery of the co
 re area. It is suggested that the natural richness of plant and animal res
 ources in South China resulted in the delayed cultivation and the domestic
 ation of the rice.  Sponsored by the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology a
 nd the Ancient World and the Friends of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthrop
 ology.  A Year of China event.\n\nStart time: 5:30 p.m.
