What kind of bean? Don't most varieties we eat today come from the Americas?

From Wikipedia "Bean":

cultivated since the seventh millennium BCE in Thailand, and since the second millennium BCE in Europe and in Peru.

So from Asia, and in Europe 4 kiloyears ago

The nine kiloyear Thai date suggests beans were among the first domesticated plants in afroeurasia
