Looking back several thousand years into plant domestication (and therewith human) history, based on DNA sequence information. This is one of those science stories that are even fun to read (if you are a #barley nerd, maybe).

Congratulations to everyone involved in that exciting project!

A research team led by the @leibnizipk.bsky.social has revealed that modern barley has a “mosaic origin”, meaning it stems from several wild populations across the Fertile Crescent. The findings were published in @nature.com.
