Most explanations focus on particular traits, while neglecting others, or on the possible selective factors involved in domestication rather than the underlying developmental and genetic causes of these traits. Here, we propose that the domestication syndrome results predominantly from mild neural crest cell deficits during embryonic development.

What is the difference between phenotype and domestication syndrome?
Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants [1] [2] or domesticated animals. [3] Domesticated animals tend to be smaller and less aggressive than their wild counterparts, they may also have floppy ears, variations to coat color, a smaller brain, and a shorter muzzle.
Jul 19, 2021 · The term “domestication syndrome” has been applied for about four decades to a set of correlated changes in “domesticated” plants, namely crop plants. We use it to refer to a suite of changes in mammals and birds—but which probably occurs in vertebrates including fishes—that distinguish many different domesticated animals from their ...

explanations for the syndrome (for example, Hemmer 1990; Leach 2003). Darwin (1868) himself suggested two possible explana-tions. The first and most general was that the gentler “con-ditions of living” under domestication, in particular the improved diets provided to domesticated animals, induced these traits in some manner.
Dec 22, 2020 · Darwin observed that all domesticated mammals share a set of common morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits that cannot be seen in their wild ancestors. Today, the domestication syndrome in mammals encompasses about fifty different phenotypic traits that a domesticated species has in relation to its wild ancestors.
