The "dump-heap" theory is essentially the belief that about ten thousand years ago, increased hybridization of plants/seeds in disturbed habitats lead to new genetic combinations for those plants, paving the way to the beginnings of agriculture. That basically means that when hunter/gatherers decided to stay in one place for a while because the food sources were good, they disturbed the habitat, causing changes that allowed for seeds to cross-pollenate, creating hybrid plants that thrived better in the new human habitat. Humans caught on to that and replanted those crops, and that is one theory for how agriculture first started in the world. This most likely happened in the fertile crescent, meaning the area of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Israel and Lebanon.
