A conference entitled “Plants, People and Evolution” was held on 4th August 2006 at the Linnean Society and the Society of Antiquaries in London. The conference, which was organised by Julie Hawkins, Mark Nesbitt and Sarah-Jane Senior, was held in honour of Dr Barbara Pickersgill, the geneticist and expert on Capsicum (peppers), and was attended by around 100 people. Nine papers were presented by a range of international specialists in plant domestication, cytogenetics and taxonomy. A number of posters also examined origins of domestication and crop evolution throughout the world, with a particular emphasis on genetic analyses. This review will concentrate on papers relating to plant domestication, which is a topic of considerable importance in both archaeobotany and archaeology. Grain crops in the Near East and Europe have for many decades provided a focus for research into domestication but, as this conference highlighted, studies have more recently expanded to include crop evolution in other parts of Asia, Africa and the Americas. Analyses in molecular biology, along with technological and methodological advances in archaeology, have revolutionised investigations over the past decade, and presentations at this conference confirmed that research into plant domestication continues to be a vibrant and exciting field of study.
