A unified approach to the study of domestic animals is an important
step in achieving a proper understanding of the nature of
domestication. In this book, the author has successfully brought
together data from many different fields. It emphasises the
importance of domestic animals to the development of human
civilization and demonstrates how human control of domestication
may result in the planned production of distinct kinds of domestic
animals, bred specifically to improve food production, build up
alternative methods of land use or provide new laboratory animals
for use in scientific research. The text concentrates on the
importance of changes in animal behaviour to the process of
domestication and describes how one of the characteristics of
domesticated animals is a lack of the same kind of perception of
their surrounding environment as is shown by wild animals. New
results and ideas are presented and the book demonstrates how the
practical application of a theoretical strategy for domestication
resulted in the production of the first primitive, but truly
domestic, fallow deer.
