The speed of expansion of food production varied considerably that it spread from the Philippines east to Polynesia at a rate of 3.2 miles per year while at a rate of 0.3 miles per year from Mexico northward to the U.S. Therefore‚ Eurasia did not only have the advantage in the origins of food production
