Besides humans, what "animal" species are mysterious genetically/evolutionarily, and likely to have alien DNA?
Can someone list the likely candidates of alien importation/ge?
As opposed to the bulk of animals which evolved solely on earth from primordial soup?

I guess the most likely is that it was a fertile region, in which crops are easier and, in some cases, more frequent.

I watched the documentary series Guns, Germs, and Steel a couple of months back and the narrator went over the several places where agriculture independently emerged and he pointed out how the people in the fertile crescent had the most kinds and the most productive (except for corn, that was not present) food animals and grains. That is possibly because of good luck, but it could also be because of intervention. Not sure which one is more likely

I think in one of stichins books he claimed hemp had been brought by the annunaki from nibiru and introduced it to man because it has so many different uses.
But was it really suddenly?

Wonderful points, ArMaP,...and, of course, the issues of how mankind suddenly learned these skills and these disciplines is thoroughly and straightforwardly addressed in sumerian writings of 5000+ years ago.
That, I don't find strange. They already mined flint stone, for example, so, after finding metals like copper (that may appear, like gold, in it's metal form in nature) that melt at a relatively low temperature, the rest is just a natural evolution of the processes.
Keep in mind, also, how suddenly and without much historical precedent, the complicated skills of mining, ore refinement, smelting and elaborate metalworking appeared.
