| Abstract | Allaby et al. (1) investigate the phylogenetic consequences of crop domestication using forward simulations to mimic the domestication process. Their results suggest that monophyly of crop accessions is not a reasonable criterion for differentiating between multiple and single domestication events. Their simulations also produce the nonintuitive result that multiple domestication events more often result in monophyly than do single domestication events. We believe that these results are a function of their population-genetic model, which employs arbitrary population frequencies, excludes mutation, assumes unrealistically small effective population sizes, and incorporates neither their own protracted domestication model nor evolution of the wild population. |
