Drawing on the latest research in archaeozoology, archaeology,
and molecular biology, "Animals as Domesticates "traces the history
of the domestication of animals around the world. From the llamas
of South America and the turkeys of North America, to the cattle of
India and the Australian dingo, this fascinating book explores the
history of the complex relationships between humans and their
domestic animals. With expert insight into the biological and
cultural processes of domestication, Clutton-Brock suggests how the
human instinct for nurturing may have transformed relationships
between predator and prey, and she explains how animals have become
companions, livestock, and laborers. The changing face of
domestication is traced from the spread of the earliest livestock
around the Neolithic Old World through ancient Egypt, the Greek and
Roman empires, South East Asia, and up to the modern industrial
age.
