Cannabis in Asia: its center of origin and early cultivation, based on a synthesis of subfossil pollen and archaeobotanical studies
JM McPartland, W Hegman, T Long - Vegetation history and …, 2019 - Springer
Biogeographers assign the Cannabis centre of origin to “Central Asia”, mostly based on wild-
type plant distribution data. We sought greater precision by adding new data: 155 fossil …
