  1. Jul 22, 2019 · Domestication is a co-evolutionary process that occurs when wild plants are brought into cultivation by humans, leading to origin of new species and/or differentiated populations that are critical for human survival.

  2. Feb 1, 2009 · Domestication is a complex evolutionary process in which human use of plant and animal species leads to morphological and physiological changes that distinguish domesticated taxa from their...

  4. An overarching, biologically grounded definition of domestication is discussed, which emphasizes its core nature as a coevolutionary process that arises from a specialized mutualism, in which one species controls the fitness of another in order to gain resources and/or services.

  5. Oct 10, 2017 · Domestication is a process with clear and dramatic evolutionary impact. It created new organisms that cannot live outside of a domesticatory relationship with humans; contributed to significant declines in overall biodiversity through the extirpation or even extinction of free-living species; transformed landscapes and atmospheric conditions ...

  6. Jun 5, 2023 · Domestication and the emergence of agriculture are both evolutionary processes, but, although interconnected, they are different. Cultivation is defined by human behaviours, and practices that are inherited through culture rather than genetics, by which people prepare land using various technologies (material culture), sow and reproduce plants.

  8. We review evidence that calls for a new landscape framework of crop origins. Evolutionary processes operate across vast distances of landscape and time, and the origins of domesticates are complex. The domestication bottleneck is a redundant concept and the progressive nature of domestication is in doubt.
