The domestication of animals led to a major shift in human subsistence patterns, from a
hunter–gatherer to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, which ultimately resulted in the …

Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into
cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that …

Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world,
both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial. To …

The genetic enhancement of wild animals and plants for characteristics that benefit human
populations has been practiced for thousands of years, resulting in impressive …

The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic
sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog …

The domestication of plants and animals is a key transition in human history, and its
profound and continuing impacts are the focus of a broad range of transdisciplinary research …

It is difficult to overstate the cultural and biological impacts that the domestication of plants
and animals has had on our species. Fundamental questions regarding where, when, and …

The domestication of plants and animals over the past 11,500 years has had a significant
effect not just on the domesticated taxa but also on human evolution and on the biosphere …

To identify genetic changes underlying dog domestication and reconstruct their early
evolutionary history, we generated high-quality genome sequences from three gray wolves …

The geographic and temporal origins of the domestic dog remain controversial, as genetic
data suggest a domestication process in East Asia beginning 15,000 years ago, whereas …
