They include crops and animals believed to have originated from the Hemudu and Majiabang cultures in the hypothetical pre-Austronesian homelands in mainland China,[4] as well as other plants and animals believed to have been first domesticated from within Taiwan, Maritime Southeast Asia, and New Guinea.[5][6] Some of these plants are sometimes also known as "canoe plants", especially in the context of the Polynesian migrations.[7][8][9] Domesticated animals and plants introduced during historic times are not included.
