Sua obra mais conhecida é "As Origens da Agricultura" (1984), na qual explicou o surgimento da agricultura como coevolução seletiva de grupos humanos e plantas que se beneficiaram mutuamente. Segundo sua teoria neodarwiniana, a seleção natural atua sobre a aspectos culturais específicos (porcentgem de artefatos, plantas e animais na dieta, etc).
