An additional issue can be suggested: Why did the Mesolithic populations of the Alpine Foreland ultimately adopt agriculture several centuries after the appearance of farming communities in adjacent areas? In other words, what caused the end of the hypothesized mutualistic interaction? The most valuable message of Foragers and Farmers is that these two populations, where they occur in proximity to each other, cannot be viewed in isolation. European archaeology tends to equate chronological units with economic strategies, with each period fitting nicely into its slot, and this has retarded the investigation of frontiers between coeval groups pursuing different economic strategies. Whether or not one accepts Gregg's mutualism hypothesis, the underlying lesson is that the interaction between these two populations needs to be analyzed before the process of the introduction of agriculture to temperate Europe can be understood fully.
