Dedicated to the Memory of Dexter Perkins, Jr. and Patricia Daly
Pam J. Crabtree, Douglas Campana, and Kathleen Ryan

The transition from hunting and gathering to food production is one of the most significant developments in all of human prehistory, since it led to profound changes in population, settlement patterns, and technology. The authors examine the process of early animal domestication in the Near East, South Asia, and Europe, focusing on the cultural context of early animal husbandry.
