Episode Synopsis "Volume 1 Episode 3: The Crops That Feed the World"

We examine the ecological and dietary aspects of grass and legume species, traits that made them good candidates for domestication, and the important roles they played on the way to agriculture. We also explore domestication from the opposite spectrum, and discuss why we don't eat acorn flour pancakes.
