description The term “Anthropocene” often refers to the relationships between humans and “wild” species or ecosystems, in order to highlight the need to reconnect human lifestyles and activities with nature. By focusing on agrobiodiversity, it is through an ancient human/natural history, that of the “partnership” between humans and domesticated species dependent on each other for their co-evolution, that we treat the Anthropocene. The tropical zone presents a situation all the more original as the diversity is also maintained by the presence of wild relatives for a large part of the domesticated cultivated species. The links vary during the different phases identified during the Anthropocene according to the relationships of domination between humans and nature, but also between humans according to the dominant/dominated relationships. In West Africa, populations are now paying a high price for Anthropocene-related transformations, whether ecological, evolutionary, demographic, economic and political.
