Gordon Childe. Based on anthropometric data, Jared Diamond has controversially claimed that this process (10[1])was the “worst (-5[2])mistake (10[3])in the history (10[2]-5[1])of the (10[1]-5[1])human race.” (10[9]-5[4])People (10[1])in the earliest location to undergo this process (10[1])selected for non-shattering (10[2])wild (10[1])einkorn. (10[2])For 10 points, name this process (10[2])that first occurred in the “Fertile Crescent,” (10[4])which involved the abandonment of hunter-gatherer lifestyles. (10[3])■END■ (10[9])
