This book emerged from a series of lectures on crop evolution at the Faculty of Agriculture of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. While many textbooks are available on general evolution, only a few deal with evolution under domestication. This book is a modest attempt to bridge this gap. It was written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of crop evolution, ethnobotany, plant breeding and related subjects. Evolution under domestication is unique in the general field of plant evolution for three main reasons: (a) it is recent, having started not much more than 10 000 years ago with the emergence of agri culture; (b) the original plant material, i. e. the wild progenitors of many important crop plants, still grow in their natural habitats; (c) man played in this process. These factors enable a more reliable a major role assessment of the impact of different evolutionary forces such as hybridization, migration, selection and drift under new circumstances. Interestingly, a great part of evolution under domestication has been unconscious and a result of agricultural practices which have created a new selection criteria, mostly against characters favored by natural selec tion. Introducing crop plants to new territories exposed them to different ecological conditions enhancing selection for new characters. Diversity in characters associated with crop plants evolution is virtually absent in theit wild progenitors and most of it has evolved under domestication.

The Neotropical area is a main setting of the earliest experiences of domestication ofplants, and evolutionary processes guided by humans, which continue being active inthe area. Studies comprised in this Research Topic show a general panorama aboutsimilarities and particularities of processes of domestication for different plant groupsand regions, some of them illustrate how the domestication processes originated anddiffused, how landscape domestication has operated and continues being practicedand others discuss some of the main challenges for designing policies for biosafetyand conservation of plant genetic resources. It is an attempt to identify main topicsfor research on evolution under domestication, and opportunities that researcherscan find in the Neotropics to understand how and why these processes occurredin the past and present.

"The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" by Charles Darwin is a seminal work that continues Darwin's exploration of the impact of artificial selection on the evolution of plants and animals. In this second volume, Darwin delves deeper into the principles of domestication, providing detailed observations and analysis. He examines the diverse ways in which humans have influenced the characteristics of domesticated species through selective breeding, drawing connections between the variation observed in nature and that which occurs under controlled human intervention. Darwin's meticulous study covers a wide range of topics, including the inheritance of acquired traits, the effects of domestication on fertility, and the role of hybridization in producing novel forms. Through a combination of empirical evidence and theoretical insights, Darwin contributes significantly to the understanding of the mechanisms that drive variability in domesticated organisms. "The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication: Volume II" remains an essential resource for those interested in the foundations of evolutionary biology, providing a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationship between humans and the species they have shaped through centuries of selective breeding.
