How can domestication be made more effective
Answers
Answer:
The domestication of plants and animals represents a key turning point in human history. This first foray into genetic engineering created new varieties of plants and animals that could be grown around the world – most often at the expense of other species that remained outside a domestic partnership with humans. The development of agricultural economies based on domesticates is arguably the central factor in the loss of global biodiversity. It transformed earth’s landscapes and its atmosphere. It fueled a population explosion of agro-pastoralists and has been a cornerstone of increasingly complex societies around the world. Understanding when, where, how, and, above all, why humans and certain plant and animal species began on their journeys into domestication remains an enduring and rewarding area of inquiry of archaeological research.
