1. The Domestication of Animals
- www.aquinas.edu
- Domestication of Animals (8500 BCE) .
- Domestication of animals for food was a major development along the road to civilization for two important reasons: it provided a surplus of food, a significant factor in that it represents the first time that people did not have to exert all their energy to find enough food just to survive, and it allowed for greater stability in life in that it allowed nomadic groups to continue to wander but also to develop a more sedentary lifestyle. ...
- There is very little actual archeological evidence to document the beginning of animal domestication, largely because of the difficulty in distinguishing between the bones of tamed and wild animals at archeological sites. Domestication likely had its origins as a practice of keeping and raising for future use the young of the victim in a hunting kill. ...

3. Independent Domestication of Beans and Cotton

- 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. ... For these reasons, it is difficult to conclude definitively that any crop had more than one domestication center since the alternative, one domestication with subsequent diffusion, is difficult to disprove. Nevertheless, strong evidence for multiple domestication of some crops exists, and one can conclude with only minor doubt that some crops did indeed undergo domestication in different areas at different times. ...
- Strong evidence for multiple domestication of wild progenitors involves a seed storage protein called phaseolin, which has eight different genetically controlled types among wild populations (Gepts, 1993). ... Some take this as a sign of multiple domestication events (Harlan, 1992). It is unlikely, given the geographical isolation of the wild populations, that one domestication incorporated that many protein types, and is only slightly less unlikely that one people domesticated multiple types. ...
- Mulitple domestication theory of beans received a boost in 1996 with the discovery of differential presence of the fin gene between accessions from South America and Mesoamerica. ...
- vulgaris in both locations at the same time strongly supports independent domestication. ... lunatis in Mexico is not as convincing for independant domestication, since certainly 6000 years is long enough for diffusion to take place. ...
- Possibly more than one domestication took place in South America. ... Archaeological remains also support independent domestication. ...
- However, independent domestication has even been suggested in the New World, based on several lines of evidence (Pickersgill, 1977). ...
- Evidence of multiple New World domestication is primarily archeaological. ... Both domestication centers are centers of diversity for their respective species (Gepts, 1993). The early presence of both domesticated species in geographically isolated areas strongly suggests independent domestication. ...

- New methods and the first steps of mammal domestication.
- Analysing and understanding the first steps of the domestication of mammals, including the prehistoric spread of the domestics, is one of the main contribution of archaeozoology to the history of man and of the societies. ... Though archaeozoology has considerably widened its fields of investigation, researches in first domestication remain today very dynamic.
- This session will focus on this methodological evolution in order to evaluate the relevance and limits of the different approaches, and finally to take stock on the role that archaeozoology may play in the future in the general anthropological debate on the birth of domestication. ...

- 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. ...
- As Morey pointed out, debates about the origins of animal domestication tend to focus on "the issue of intentionality" - the extent to which domestication was the result of deliberate human choice. Was domestication actually "self-domestication," the colonization of new ecological niches by animals such as wolves? Or did it result from intentional decisions by human beings? How you answer those questions will determine how you understand the morphological and physiological changes that domestication has brought about-whether as the results of the pressure of natural selection in a new niche, or as deliberately cultivated advantageous traits.
- Domestication was not a single event but rather a long, complex process. ...
- In a wide range of mammals - herbivores and predators, large and small - domestication seems to have brought with it strikingly similar changes in appearance and behavior: changes in size, changes in coat color, even changes in the animals' reproductive cycles. ...
- Belyaev, however, believed that the key factor selected for was not size or reproduction, but behavior; specifically amenability to domestication, or tamability. ...
- To test his hypothesis, Belyaev decided to turn back the clock to the point at which animals received the first challenge of domestication. ...
- His own work included ground-breaking investigations of evolutionary change in animals under extreme conditions (including domestication) and of the evolutionary roles of factors such as stress, selection for behavioral traits and the environmental photoperiod, or duration of natural daylight. Animal domestication was his lifelong project, and fur bearers were his favorite subjects. ...
- Early in the process of domestication, Belyaev noted, most domestic animals had undergone the same basic morphological and physiological changes. ...
- Another major evolutionary consequence of domestication is loss of the seasonal rhythm of reproduction. ...
- Belyaev believed that similarity in the patterns of these traits was the result of selection for amenability to domestication. ...
- Variations in tamability must be determined at least partly by an animal's genes, and domestication must place that animal under strong selective pressure. ... If our numbers are typical, it is clear that domestication must place wild animals under extreme stress and severe selective pressure. ...
- Foxes had been farmed since the beginning of this century, so the earliest steps of domestication-capture, caging and isolation from other wild foxes-had already left their marks on our foxes' genes and behavior. ...

- 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. ...
- 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. ...
