The earliest evidence for both domesticated einkorn and emmer wheat found to date was at the Syrian site of Abu Hureyra, in occupation layers dated to the Late Epi-paleolithic period, the beginning of the Younger Dryas, ca 13,00012,000 cal BP; some scholars have argued, however, that the evidence does not show deliberate cultivation at this time, although it does indicate a broadening of the diet base to include a reliance on wild grains including the wheat. While some scientists argue that this is a fairly rapid process of several centuries; Others argue that the process from the cultivation of wheat to its domestication is almost 5,000 years old. But that naturally useful brittleness doesn't suit humans, who prefer to harvest wheat from the plant rather than off the surrounding earth.

Differences in nutritional quality between wild and domesticated forms of barley and emmer wheat. The culture generally associated with the introduction of wheat and other crops from Asia to Europe is generally the Lindearbandkeramik (LBK) culture, which may have been made up of part immigrant farmers and part local hunter-gatherers adapting new technologies. One of the ongoing arguments about wheat is the length of time it took for the domestication process to complete. Oxford University Press, Oxford. Genotypic and phenotypic variation in higher plants.
