Barley first appears in pre-agriculture sites in the near east 17000-10000 bp as remains of brittle rachis two row forms identifiable as H. vulgare ssp spontaneum (Zohary, 1994 ). The earliest report is from Ohalo II, a submerged Palaeolithic site on the southern shore of Lake Galilee and was found in association with remains of wild emmer wheat.

Evolution: The supposed change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
What are its requirements? Is it statistically possible?
I smell blood. I'm a day off the trail, but I will make haste. If the quarry still stands, I will assault it with terrible fury!

Already there are signs along the trail that the target has suffered many wounds. It is no wonder that large predators have come ahead of me. I should not be surprised to find only a gleaming carcass at the end of the chase.

What is this? Some small game has crossed the path. Other hunters have been diverted. But lo! I see from its markings on the trail that the nuisance is but a shrew. Leave it.

No new signs of the quarry. From the indications of violence on the trial, I think it likely that even if I should overtake this prey while it still quivers, there will not be any meat left on its bones.

Awaiting new signs. Must rest. Recover and prepare.

The thing that puzzles me about arguments against evolution is that none of them address intra-species genetic variance and/or intra-species deviations of the DNA sequence.
Random mutation is not neccessarily the only mechanism that produces speciation since epigenetic markers may well determine which genetic variants survive a radica ...[text shortened]... may well be the next step in understanding the mechanism that produced evolutionary change.

I was just prodding the question a little deeper...
I am fully aware that you have provided evidence for 'variations within a kind'.
'Macroevolution" needs much more than 'variations within a kind'.
