  Abstract "Humans have a long history of transporting and trading plants, contributing to the evolution of domesticated plants.  Theobroma cacao  originated in the Neotropics from South America. However, little is known about its domestication and use in these regions. In this study, ceramic residues from a large sample of pre-Columbian cultures from South and Central America were analyzed using archaeogenomic and biochemical approaches. Here we show, for the first time, the widespread use of cacao in South America out of its native Amazonian area of origin, extending back 5000 years, likely supported by cultural interactions between the Amazon and the Pacific coast. We observed that strong genetic mixing between geographically distant cacao populations occurred as early as the middle Holocene, in South America, driven by humans, favoring the adaptation of  T. cacao  to new environments. This complex history of cacao domestication is the basis of today's cacao ...

"Also, those who teach meditation practices should ensure that participants are aware of potential risk," he said.
