①Favorable environments do not necessarily lead to the occurrence of plant cultivation.?②South China is warmer and moister than North China and the Yangtze Basin, with wild rice and highly abundant natural resources.?③Yet archaeological data indicate that cereal cultivation did not occur in this region until approximately 7,000 to 6,500 years ago.?④This cultivation was likely a result of cultural contact with and expansion from the Yangtze Basin.?⑤Clearly, environmental factors were important for the occurrence of cultivation in China, but were not the absolute determining factors.?⑥While incipient?cultivation might occur in areas of relatively abundant resources, it may not occur in areas of very abundant resources, such as South China, where foraging might be a more efficient way of life.?
