Pour sauver son groupe, un des leurs part à la recherche d’un fabuleux troupeau de grands animaux dont il a vu les peintures dans une grotte. Pour ce faire, il traverse l’Europe d’Ouest en Est et fait de nombreuses rencontres. Ne trouvant pas son troupeau, il finit par découvrir en Anatolie la culture des céréales qu’il rapporte ensuite auprès des siens. La néolithisation de l’Europe apparaît alors comme volontaire, pacifique et fortuite, résultant de la quête d’un troupeau de grands animaux disparus depuis longtemps.

L'auteur pose des questions de fond relatives à la préhistoire, cette période dans laquelle nos civilisations trouvent leurs origines. Quels étaient le mode de vie, l'économie et l'organisation sociale des chasseurs-cueilleurs? Comment évoluèrent-ils au cours du temps et pourquoi certaines sociétés de chasseurs-cueilleurs ont persisté, y compris après l'apparition de l'agriculture? Plus fondamentalement encore, pourquoi l'homme moderne abandonna t-il, il y a 10.000 ans, lors de l'apparition de l'agriculture, un mode de vie qui fut le sien pendant 99% de son histoire? Où, comment et pourquoi cette révolution Néolithique ou agropastorale se réalisa-t-elle? Comment se diffusa-t-elle à toute la planète? L'auteur apporte des réponses à toutes ces questions en s'appuyant sur une littérature scientifique et récente. Centrée sur l’économie, son approche est résolument interdisciplinaire, comme l'exige toute analyse complète et précise de la préhistoire.

However, barter is usually ill-defined and archaeological evidence about it is inconclusive. Moreover, the transaction costs associated with barter seem to have been exaggerated by metallists. Indeed, the introduction of a unit of account reduces the complexity of the relative prices system usually associated with barter. Similarly, in-kind transactions have timing constraints which are often labeled as "the double coincidence of wants"; with a system of debt and credit, delayed exchange, that is lending, is possible. Such adaptability of barter is confirmed by the study of Mesopotamian and ancient Egyptian palatial economies. They provide evidence that non-monetary transactions have persisted during millennia, challenging the metallist vision about the origin of money.

These patterns are related to the economic development and external trade of Phoenician city-states. In addition, attention is given to how well economic theories explain the evolution of Phoenician external trading, with particular attention being given to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade. Also explored is the role of ‘new’ (evolving) media of exchange in facilitating interactive trade, especially that of Phoenicia. The possible methods that Phoenician rulers (and some other ancient rulers) adopted to extract a portion of the economic surplus from trade are outlined, and the policy issues they faced are discussed. It is concluded that media of exchange such as gold, silver and other treasures which initially fostered the growth of international trade, subsequently resulted in stifling this growth. This is because these items came to be regarded as a measure of real material wealth and led to policies being adopted by states which were intended to increase each state’s stock of these treasures. The seeds of mercantilism were sown. This system had several negative economic consequences and it actually tended to reduce international trade and decrease the economic prosperity of nations.

There is however a controversy about how it has unfolded. One view supports it was an invention with subsequent adoption, and stresses the role of human intention in a rapid transition, geographically focused. The other view contends it was change and subsequent adaptation, and highlights the role of chance and co-evolution in a protracted and spatially diffused process. Thanks to recent developments of archaeobotany and archaeozoology, we evaluate both views and conclude that the latter is more relevant.

We examine which consequences it would have been if applied to the cultivation of Near-Eastern wild cereals, especially on their rate of domestication measured by the frequency of non-shattering seeds. Two stages of the cultivation process are analyzed, the harvest and the processing. The harvest stage requires two strategies, one about the state of ripeness at the harvest and the other about the harvesting method. We demonstrate that under an optimizing behavior most mature seeds are harvested-by combining two technologies, ground collection and sickling-and thus this stage leads to no selective pressure. On the contrary, the processing stage, from threshing to storage, leads to positive selection when the products of the two harvests are processed separately, a strategy resulting from labor efficiency and risk minimization. Therefore, an optimizing behavior tends to support a rapid pathway toward plant domestication, even though the latter is an unconscious outcome of human behavior.
