Without our domesticated plants and animals, human civilization as we know it would not exist. We would still be living at subsistence level as hunter-gatherers if not for domestication. It is no accident that the cradle of civilizationthe Middle Eastis where sheep, goats, pigs, cattle, and cats commenced their fatefully intimate association with humans. Before the agricultural revolution, there were perhaps 10 million humans on earth. Now there are more than 7 billion of us. Our domesticated species have also thrived, in stark contrast to their wild ancestors. In a human-constructed environmentor man-made worldit pays to be domesticated. Domestication is an evolutionary process first and foremost. What most distinguishes domesticated animals from their wild ancestors are genetic alterations resulting in tameness, the capacity to tolerate close human proximity. But selection for tameness often results in a host of seemingly unrelated by-products, including floppy ears, skeletal alterations, reduced aggression, increased sociality, and reduced brain size. It's a package deal known as the domestication syndrome. Elements of the domestication syndrome can be found in every domesticated speciesnot only cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses but also more recent human creations, such as domesticated camels, reindeer, and laboratory rats. That domestication results in this suite of changes in such a wide variety of mammals is a fascinating evolutionary story, one that sheds much light on the evolutionary process in general. We humans, too, show signs of the domestication syndrome, which some believe was key to our evolutionary success. By this view, human evolution parallels the evolution of dogs from wolves, in particular. A natural storyteller, Richard C. Francis weaves history, archaeology, and anthropology to create a fascinating narrative while seamlessly integrating the most cutting-edge ideas in twenty-first-century biology, from genomics to evo-devo. 100 illustrations : Customer Reviews: Domesticated: Evolution in a Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World at Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users Domesticated: Evolution In A Man-Made World PDF Domesticated: Evolution In A Man-Made World PDF or manmade world - it pays to be domesticated Domestication is an evolutionary process first and foremost Domesticated W W Norton & Company Domesticated Evolution in a Man-Made World Richard C Francis (Author) In a human-constructed environmentor man-made worldit pays to be domesticated Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World - Livros na In a human-constructed environment?or man-made world?it pays to be domesticated The full title of the book is Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World Jetcom In a human-constructed environment or man-made world it pays to be domesticated Domestication is an evolutionary human evolution parallels the evolution DOMESTICATED EVOLUTION IN A MAN MADE WORLD - voeainfo domesticated evolution in a man made world domesticated evolution in a man made world - title ebooks : domesticated evolution in a man made world : Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World Buy Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World on FREE SHIPPING on In a human-constructed environmentor man-made worldit pays to be domesticated Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World by Richard C Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World We live in a man-made world and this fact is supported by the way sheep goats pigs cattle DOMESTICATED EVOLUTION IN A MAN MADE WORLD - iluainfo More related with DOMESTICATED EVOLUTION IN A MAN MADE WORLD : - Mitsubishi Fd10 Fd14 Fd15 Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World: Richard C Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World View Images Look Inside In a human-constructed environment or man-made world it pays to be domesticated
