Re: The Origin of Musa?
Gabe might be a good one to comment on this in detail. I can tell you that bananas and plantains originated in SE Asia. As for which of the genus' you mentioned may have evolved first, I can't help you there.

Re: The Origin of Musa?
At the bottom of the main bananas .org page is an ad for Dan Koepells's book. This has some info concerning the origins of the musa species.

Re: The Origin of Musa?
Or, of course, you could read Brent's excellent article on the origins and diffusion of Musa species by Subscribing to Bananas Quarterly.

 If you even do a simple internet search by typing something like "history of musa" or "origins of musa" you'll get plenty of sources stating SE Asia as the origin. |
