Reply to comment by -Ch4s3- in COP27: Israel harnessing DNA of bygone wild crops to enhance food supply by Sariel007
difficult//tedious but not impossible. more recent ferals should be pretty easy to distinguish through population structure analysis so long as someone takes the time to genotype them and run the statistics.
figuring out that an accession was influenced by humans then escaped cultivation to continue as a feral for 8k years is more challenging but still possible, especially with wheat since we have genomic data from archaeological finds

Yeah, tedious is what I was thinking.
