Does a common underlying genetic architecture cause domestication syndrome?
The general combination of traits in domesticated mammals is an ensemble that we will refer to as the “domestication syndrome” (DS) (adopting a term used for domesticated crop plants, e.g., Brown et al. 2008). We list its core components in Table 1. In this article, we will present a new hypothesis about the nature and origin of the DS ...

Jul 1, 2014 · In this article, we have argued that all the facets of the domestication syndrome can be traced to mild neural crest cell deficits. In Figure 2, we summarize our proposal, depicting the routes by which those deficits can lead to the different traits of the syndrome.

Domestication syndrome refers to two sets of phenotypic traits that are common to either domesticated plants or domesticated animals. 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.

Mar 22, 2023 · What causes domestication syndrome? In recent years, two main possible explanations for domestication syndrome have dominated scientific discussion. The first suggests it was caused when ancient...
Feb 11, 2022 · A recent hypothesis posits that the “domestication syndrome” characteristic of domesticated animals is driven by selection for tameness acting on neural crest cell genes, particularly those affecting cell migration.
