There is pollen evidence from the Horton Plains for herding and the farming
of barley and oats by 15,000 BC and also around 8,000 BC. The new evidence
from the Horton Plains is of great importance. Ghar-i-Mar and Aq Kupruk in
Afghanistan and Mehrgarh in Pakistan were known to have had a Neolithic
subsistence strategy by 7,000-6,000 BC. There is tentative evidence of herding in
northern Rajasthan by 7,000 BC, of rice and pottery at Koldihwa, U.P. in India
by 5,000 BC, and perhaps cereal management/farming in the Nilgiri Hills of
South India by 8,000 BC. Therefore Lankans had proof of Agro subsistence
strategy 7000 years before the world did.
Even if they found hearding started 10 millineum before this, it still is
not enough time for the human body to adjust to this new food source.
