Hello, my name is Laura Maldonado and welcome to my blog! I am a third year anthropology major at UC Berkeley, and my current goal is to attend graduate school to further my studies in archaeological and physical anthropology.
This archaeological blog focuses on the origins and evolution of agriculture, and my goal is to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of the animal and plant domestication that first began to appear around 12-10 thousand years ago. The appearance of agriculture severely affected humans, and changes to their diet, social organization, economy, ideologies, population sizes, etc. ensued.
