The first modern scholarly synthesis of animal domestication Across
the globe and at different times in the past millennia, the
evolutionary history of domesticated animals has been greatly
affected by the myriad, complex, and diverse interactions humans
have had with the animals closest to them. The Process of Animal
Domestication presents a broad synthesis of this subject, from the
rich biology behind the initial stages of domestication to how the
creation of breeds reflects cultural and societal transformations
that have impacted the biosphere. Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra draws
from a wide range of fields, including evolutionary biology,
zooarchaeology, ethnology, genetics, developmental biology, and
evolutionary morphology to provide a fresh perspective to this
classic topic. Relying on various conceptual and technical tools,
he examines the natural history of phenotypes and their
developmental origins. He presents case studies involving mammals,
birds, fish, and insect species, and he highlights the importance
of domestication for the comprehension of evolution, anatomy,
ontogeny, and dozens of fundamental biological processes. Bringing
together the most current developments, The Process of Animal
Domestication will interest a wide range of readers, from
evolutionary biologists, developmental biologists, and geneticists
to anthropologists and archaeologists.
