Harlan\u2019s Crops and Man with Drs. Thomas Stalker and Marilyn Warburton
Humans and the crops they use have co-evolved across the centuries. This episode, Drs. Thomas Stalker and Marilyn Warburton discuss three major periods of time within this relationship as well as misconceptions we might have about our predecessors and where we\u2019re headed next.
