The wild pea originated in the Mediterranean Basin and the Near East. The earliest archaeological finds of peas date from the late Neolithic era of current Greece, Syria, Turkey, Israel, Iraq and Jordan. The pea was also present in Georgia in the 5th millennium BC.

Farther east, the finds are younger. Peas were present in Afghanistan c. 2000 BC; in Harappan civilization around modern-day Pakistan
and western- and northwestern India in 2250–1750 BC. In the second half of the 2nd millennium BC, this legume crop appeared in the
Ganges Basin and southern India.
