That article on domestication is REALLY cool, because the dates fit in with Colin Tudge's Neanderthals, Bandits & Farmers, a simple thought piece where he postulates that agriculture evolved much earlier than previously thought and that much of it was initially quite simple. He also speculates that early domestication resulted from humans moving up in elevation as lowlands became flooded with rising sea levels. These dates fit PERFECTLY with that idea!
