مستخلص: This article explores the movement and domestication of two culturally significant food sources, bunya pines and black bean trees, by First Nations groups in Australia. The researchers combined Indigenous knowledge and genetic analysis to investigate the historical migration patterns of these species. They found that bunya pines were actively moved by Indigenous groups in southeast Queensland, but not in the Wet Tropics. In contrast, black bean trees were deliberately spread along the Nguthungulli Songline by Bundjalung groups. The study highlights the complex relationship between Indigenous peoples and plants, shedding light on the domestication of landscapes through cultural preferences. [Extracted from the article]
