| | Domestication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hybrids can be wild, domesticated, or both: a liger is a hybrid of two wild animals, a mule is a hybrid of two domesticated animals, and a beefalo is a cross between a wild and a domestic animal. | | | Given agriculture's importance to humans, the domestication of plants is even more important than the domestication of animals. | | | The first domestic animal was probably the dog, possibly as early as 10000 BC in the Natufian culture of the Levant. |

| | Domestication and commercialization of non-timber forest products in agroforestry systems - Agroforests as an ... |
| | The process of domestication and cultivation of food crops has followed two totally divergent routes: `agriculture' and `horticulture', taken in their etymological sense-the cultivation of `ager' (openfields) and the cultivation of `hortus' (gardens) (Barrau 1970). | | | Domestication and cultivation techniques devised by forestry research for tree species follow the rules of specialization, uniformity and intensification that have proven efficient for grain crops, simplifying the structure and the function of the cultivated `forest' to the extreme. | | | Domestication and cultivation have long been the prerogative of agriculture (here in its widest sense: management of fields and gardens), while worldwide, forests remained the domain of hunting and gathering in support of agriculture. |

| | According to www.brainydictionary.com, to domesticate is "to tame or reclaim from a wild state; as, to domesticate wild animals; to domesticate a plant". | | | The Domestication and exploitation of plants and animals. | | | Domestic pigs are normally fed diets of corn, grain, root and tuber crops, dairy by-products, commercial feeds, and edible garbage. |

| | Independent Domestication of Beans and Cotton |
| | Domestication origins are often difficult to locate, since most domestications of modern crops took place several thousand years ago, and archaeological evidence is difficult to come by, or difficult to interpret when found. | | | In addition, crops have undergone constant change since domestication, thus, an ancient domesticated crop is often difficult to distinguish from its wild progenitor in fossil records until long after domestication, when the crop has attained significant morphological uniqueness. | | | Examinations of the wild Phaseolus species form which domestications likely occurred revealed that these wild populations were often morphologically distinct, geographically isolated, and in some cases non-interfertile, as in beans from Mesoamerica and South America (Gepts, 1993). |

| | The archeological evidence for domestication includes remains of cereal grains found near cooking fires, stone sickles used to harvest grains, and pounding stones for removing the inedible chaff from the edible kernel. | | | He thinks domestication actually occurred in the Levant -- the western end of the Crescent -- because domesticable wild grains were absent from the rest of the area during the Younger Dryas. | | | Bar-Yosef says that at a small Natufian community like Netiv Hagdud, wheat and rye were first domesticated about 11,500 years ago, during the Younger Dryas: "The beginning of cultivation emerged from an environment of stress that forced people to rely more heavily on cultivated species. |

| | Full text of EARLY CANID DOMESTICATION: THE FARM FOX EXPERIMENT, by Lyudmila N. Trut |
| | In our domesticated foxes of both sexes, cranial height and width tended to be smaller, and snouts tended to be shorter and wider, than those of a control group of farmed foxes. | | | The dog was probably the first domestic animal, and it is the one in which domestication has progressed the furthest — far enough to turn Canis lupus into Canis familiaris. | | | Another interesting change is that the cranial morphology of domesticated adult males became somewhat "feminized." In farmed foxes, the crania of males tended to be larger in volume than those of females, and various other proportions differed sharply between the sexes. |

| | Price (1984) defined domestication as "a process by which a population of animals becomes adapted to man and the captive environment, by some combination of genetic changes occurring over generations and environmentally induced developmental events recurring during each generation." Domesticated animals differ significantly from animals in the wild. | | | Interestingly, the constellation of pedomorphic behaviors and morphologies is also seen in the domestication of other animals. | | | The domestic fox is not yet a domestic wolf. |

| | But this is far from all: the symbiosis model might sound reasonable for the beginning of domestication (and as one side of the story as well), but in later developments it becomes unimportant, and when industialized agriculture appears, the whole approach becomes irrelevant. | | | His argumentation relies on the fact that some species resist domestication attempts while others are easily tamed, and the fact that domesticated animals develop cartain features which make them even more easily tamable. | | | Budiansky doesn't suggest that animals like to be mistreated, he suggests that a strategy for a species to survive may have been to pair its fate with humans. |

| | During the Inca period, the breeding and production of llamas was controlled by the state "Llama-Michis" or llama herders. | | | Llamas were domesticated by the Incas in the higher Andes Mountains near Lake Titicaca around 4,000 B.C. They were able to utilize poor quality forage from elevations of 3,000-5,000 feet and still produce wool, meat, fertilizer and be beasts of burden. | | | Early this century, roads and motorized vehicles began to replace llamas as a transporter of goods over land. |
