[edit] really big missing bits here
There is now considerable, if not overwhelming, evidence that the earliest use of many agricultural techniques was in the New World of New Guinea. In addition, several of the most important food crops (by quantity if nothing else) originated in these areas (maize, tomatos, potatoes, ...), in SE Asia (oranges, chickens), Central Asia (apples...), etc. This timeline needs rather urgently to be corrected. ww 03:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
