domestication - ANS--the process of bringing a species under the control of humans
AND
-improving it through careful selection, mating, and handling, so that its products or
services are more useful to humans
-not merely taming an animal
-is not merely controlling its breeding
-must involve genetic selection
-will be accompanied by changes in genotype and phenotype
symbiosis - ANS--domestication is this
-mutual advantages
domestication advantages for humans - ANS--animals are more useful
-animals are more productive
-animals are easier to manage
domestication advantages for animals - ANS--protection from predators, competitors,
and diseases
-increased population
-increased range
wild - ANS--not domesticated
domesticated - ANS--under control and selection by humans
feral - ANS--formerly domesticated
species - ANS--members can mate and produce fertile offspring
beginning of agriculture - ANS--dependent on domestication (10,000 years ago)
-coincides with end of last ice age
-coincides with a period of more stable climate
traditional view of domestication - ANS--domestication permitted a more sedentary life
style
-more sedentary life style permitted more technological and social development
-hence it was important to development of civilization
, more provocative view of domestication - ANS--animals that could be domesticated
were unequally distributed around world
-14 species larger than 100 lbs that could be domesticated
-13 in urasia (got head start)
-1 in Americas
characteristics of animals suitable for domestication - ANS--hardiness
-dominance social behavior
-herd behavior
-utility to humans
-facile reproduction
-facile husbandry.
hardiness - ANS--tolerance of young to be separated from parents
dominance social behavior - ANS--one animal in group takes charge and others fall
utility - ANS--food
-work
-worship
-companionship
facile husbandry - ANS--calm temperment
-lack of finicky diet
