Found at HALLUR, PAIYAMPALLI (Neolithic) \[4.6\]; SURKOTADA (Harappa \[4.9\]); BHOKARDAN, NEVASA (early historical). These constitute the only world records, but it is believed that the cereal originated in Africa, where several wild and weedy forms, including \*E. africana\*, its immediate ancestor, are found. The Indian wild \*E. indica\* is genetically incompatible to be its ancestor. - [Previous: v1.c7.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c7.s1.1) - [Next: v1.c7.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c7.s2.2) - [Up: v1.c7.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c7.s2) ## Linked texts (4) - [Surkotada](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.surkotada) - [Nevasa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nevasa) - [Paiyampalli](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.paiyampalli) - [Bhokardan](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.bhokardan) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c7.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c7.s2.1) · Pramāṇa
