This inclusive definition encompasses both human-associated domestication of crop plants and livestock as well as other non-human domesticators, such as insects. It also calls into question the idea that humans are themselves domesticated, given that evolution of human traits did not arise through the control of fitness by another species.
The evolution of domesticated (see Glossary) plants underpinning the rise of agriculture is often seen as a pivotal moment in human progress, but the process was also associated with the initial costs of malnutrition [. 1. ], disease [. 2. ], and labor traps that lock humans into dependency on agriculture [. 3.
