Human History

A long history of human impacts on the natural landscape over thousands of years has strongly affected the environments of this region and has accelerated over the past century.  Many of our Western cooking herbs such as rosemary, thyme, tarragon, sage, and oregano are native to the Mediterranean Basin.  Most of the modern grape varieties used for the production of fine wines and domestic olives also come from the region.
