Human-Plant Coevolution: A modelling framework for theory-building on the origins of agriculture

WWW.REPOSITORY.CAM.AC.UK

 

Human-Plant Coevolution (HPC) model

 

The Human-Plant Coevolution (HPC) model
Human-plant interaction is a specific case of animal-plant interaction, which spans predator-
prey, mutualistic and symbiotic relationships. All ecological relationships consistent in time
are driven by coevolution, where each party exerts selective pressures on the other, eventually
redefining their genetic (and cultural) construct [53, 56–58]. Under mutualistic coevolution,
the interaction between two populations increases the total potential return or carrying capac-
ity of the environment for each species. At the same time, it also modifies the selective pres-
sures acting over the populations involved. In this light, plant domestication is similar to other
mutualistic relationships, where coevolution made possible the emergence of certain traits,
manifested at physiological, morphological and behavioural levels; e.g., insects and fungi [59]
and ants and acacias

No. It's still 4500 pretty empty words that explain not a lot.

Job finished today grass supplied by customer from cheap carpet place so absolute tat really don’t like the cheap stuff the grass has been left on a roll since July with all sorts stacked on it so left flat spots they’ll drop out once the nicer weather gets to it 🤦‍♂️ stretched the life out of it that’s the best it would go

I’m out to make a wage 👍 it’s a supply and demand industry the customer tells me what they want and I give them it 🤷‍♂️ we all have families to feed at the end of the day

Nah, that's bollocks. You've got a responsibility to tell people who haven't got a f*cking clue exactly what's wrong with their ideas and why they should be ashamed of themselves for wanting it.

 

The transformation between the two pics above is absolutely criminal, you should be mortified that you helped facilitate it, and the client needs a solid smack over the head with a loy spade.

 

Disgusting.
