Fishing, Farming, and Animal Husbandry in the Early and Middle Neolithic of the Middle Yellow River Valley, China

The significance of this research lies in that millet agricultural origin in this region is C4 agricultural origin, and the best analogue to millet agricultural origin in this region is maize production at higher latitude in eastern North America in Late Woodland period. Second, fishing had remained very important in the Wei River Valley before and after millet agriculture and pig husbandry became the dominant mode of subsistence, suggesting a regional difference in subsistence strategies between the Wei River valley and the Central Plain.
