The second sentence of this section, "With the advent of climate change..." seems disingenuous as well as wrong. Climate change has been with us for eons, has it not? Or have we decided that the glaciers did not happen? [[User:Amccray|Amccray]] ([[User talk:Amccray|talk]]) 10:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

== The second photo ==

while i'm sure it is big ego buzz for someone, a picture of three people in a field doesn't seem to add anything useful to this article [[User:Greglocock|Greglocock]] ([[User talk:Greglocock|talk]]) 07:26, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

== Grapes ==

Grapes aren't descended from [[Vitis Californica]], this would have meant grapes were domesticated in California when we know they arrived there in the past few hundred years and the cultivated varieties of Vitis vinifera were domesticated in the Middle East and Europe.
Vitis californica isn't even used in breeding hybrids, practically every other American species has been tried but californica doesn't bring anything to the table (disease / pest resistance). [[User:Kentynet|Kentynet]] ([[User talk:Kentynet|talk]]) 06:10, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Animals

[edit]

Can't we rename this page something like 'Crop and Livestock wild relatives' so that we can add in the ancestors of domestic livestock as well? For example the Aurochs for cattle and the Grey Wolf for dogs.

Also there needs to be a few more links to this article, it is almost impossible to find. Kentynet (talk) 23:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OR

[edit]

There are still some problems with this article. Mainly that it makes many assertions which constitute original research, one example being "With the advent of climate change and greater ecosystem instability CWR are likely to prove a critical resource in ensuring food security for the new millennium." - that appears OR to me. I think it needs to be rewritten to, instead of asserting "facts", attribute certain opinions to sources or omit them. Cheers – Toon(talk) 20:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Overview

[edit]

The second sentence of this section, "With the advent of climate change..." seems disingenuous as well as wrong. Climate change has been with us for eons, has it not? Or have we decided that the glaciers did not happen? Amccray (talk) 10:56, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The second photo

[edit]

while i'm sure it is big ego buzz for someone, a picture of three people in a field doesn't seem to add anything useful to this article Greglocock (talk) 07:26, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
