Domestication challenges our understanding of human-environment
relationships because it blurs the dichotomy between what is
artificial and what is natural. In domestication, biological
evolution, environmental change, techniques and practices,
anthropological trajectories and sociocultural choices are
inextricably interconnected. Domestication is essentially a hybrid
phenomenon that needs to be explored with hybrid scientific
approaches. Hybrid Communities: Biosocial Approaches to
Domestication and Other Trans-species Relationships attempts for
the first time to explore domestication viewed from across
disciplines both in its origins and as an ongoing process. This
edited collection proposes new biosocial approaches and concepts
which integrate the methods of social sciences, archaeology and
biology to shed new light on domestication in diachrony and in
synchrony. This book will be of great interest to all scholars
working on human-environment relationships, and should also attract
readers from the fields of social anthropology, archaeology,
genetics, ecology, botany, zoology, history and philosophy.
