For anyone who may be interested, this great lecture reminds me that regenerative agriculture and "food forest" permaculture is foundationally focused upon undoing the damage upon the planet and people that comes from fixed field monoculture. Foraging and agriculture can be compatible when regenerative practices and collective effort [are] applied.
There are more than three staple grains, and there are other staple starches and seeds that are not grains. What about rye, barley, sorghum, amaranth, oats, buckwheat, quinoa, millet, teff, potatoes, plantains, taro, bread fruit, cassava, and beans/lentils? I have probably even missed a few. These are all staples in some parts of the world.
Fascinating lecture. Makes you think!

Thinking about reading his book, Against the Grain.
Do it. Great book
Richard Wrangham's new book, The Goodness Paradox, builds upon these ideas in his self-domestication hypothesis.
why so much light on his face :p

there is a lot book about this, i suggest grain brain.
Sorry, but that book is BS. Grain phobia is just another diet craze. This, too, shall pass.
he uses the word "Domus" a lot... what word is that? Domus? domas? something else? anyone know?!?
my guess was that he uses roman term for house to refer to any kind of permanent local aggregation of humans
@@tiptip894 refers to Ian Hodder's use of domus - ie domestic hearth, home palce
Means home
House
