Genetic analysis of the Acrocomia aculeata palm, a promising source for biofuel, reveals a deep evolutionary split between its Central and South American populations. Over the last 13,000 years, these two groups were domesticated independently, with ancient communities selecting for entirely different sets of useful traits on each continent, shaping the palm's genetic destiny.
