Consensus models of the likelihood that cultivated chili pepper originated in an area. The models were obtained by combining the four lines of evidence for the origin of domesticated chili pepper (Fig. 1). (A) equal weights; (B) genetics 1/2, all others 1/6 weight; and (C) archaeology 1/10, all others 1/3 weight. After combining, the values were scaled between 0 and 1 and then squared to give more weight to the higher values.
