Guilá Naquitz is a small cave occupied by local hunter-gatherers at least six times between 8000 and 6500 BCE, by hunters and gatherers, probably during the fall (October to December) of the year. The cave is in the Tehuacán valley of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, about 3 miles (5 kilometers) northwest of the town of Mitla. The mouth of the cave ope...
Five natural strata (A-E) were identified in the cave deposits, which extended to a maximum depth of 55 inches (140 centimeters). Unfortunately, only the top strata (A) can be conclusively dated, based on radiocarbon dates from its living floors and pottery which matches Monte Alban IIIB-IV, ca. 700 CE. The dates of the other strata within the cave...
A wide range of plant food was recovered within the cave deposits of Guilá Naquitz, including acorns, pinyon, cactus fruits, hackberries, mesquite pods, and most importantly, the wild forms of bottle gourd, squash, and beans. All of those plants would be domesticated within a few generations. Other plants attested at Guila Naquitz are chili peppers...

This inclusive definition encompasses both human-associated domestication of crop plants and livestock as well as other non-human domesticators, such as insects. It also calls into question the idea that humans are themselves domesticated, given that evolution of human traits did not arise through the control of fitness by another species.
Management types and their influence in processes of incipient domestication of plants: Mexican and Brazilian study cases Mexican cases The Mesoamerican region is one of the main settings of domestication of plants in the world [1-3,5,16,32,33], and important research projects have been and are still being developed in that area to understand ...
