Los perros y las ovejas estuvieron entre los primeros animales en ser domesticados.
La domesticación es una relación multigeneracional sostenida en la que un grupo de
organismos asume un grado significativo de influencia sobre la reproducción y el
cuidado de otro grupo para asegurar un suministro más predecible de recursos de ese
segundo grupo. [1] La domesticación de plantas y animales fue una de las
principales innovaciones culturales clasificadas en importancia con la conquista
del fuego, la fabricación de herramientas y el desarrollo del lenguaje verbal. [2]

Charles Darwin reconoció el pequeño número de rasgos que diferenciaban a las


especies domésticas de sus ancestros salvajes. También fue el primero en reconocer
la diferencia entre la cría selectiva consciente en la que los humanos seleccionan
directamente los rasgos deseables y la selección inconsciente donde los rasgos
evolucionan como un subproducto de la selección natural o de la selección de otros
rasgos. [3] [4] [5] Existe una diferencia genética entre las poblaciones domésticas
y silvestres. También existe una gran diferencia entre los rasgos de domesticación
que los investigadores creen que fueron esenciales en las primeras etapas de la
domesticación y los rasgos de mejora que han aparecido desde la división entre las
poblaciones silvestres y domésticas. [6][7] [8] Los rasgos de domesticación
generalmente se fijan en todos los domesticados y se seleccionaron durante el
episodio inicial de domesticación de ese animal o planta, mientras que los rasgos
de mejora están presentes solo en una proporción de domesticados, aunque pueden
fijarse en razas individuales o poblaciones regionales . [7] [8] [9]

El perro fue la primera especie domesticada , [10] [11] [12] y se estableció en


Eurasia antes del final del Pleistoceno tardío , mucho antes del cultivo y antes de
la domesticación de otros animales. [11] Los datos arqueológicos y genéticos
sugieren que el flujo genético bidireccional a largo plazo entre las poblaciones
silvestres y domésticas, incluidos burros , caballos , camélidos del Nuevo y Viejo
Mundo , cabras , ovejas y cerdos , era común. [8] [13]Dada su importancia para los
humanos y su valor como modelo de cambio evolutivo y demográfico , la domesticación
ha atraído a científicos de arqueología , paleontología , antropología , botánica ,
zoología , genética y ciencias ambientales . [14] Entre las aves , la principal
especie doméstica hoy en día es el pollo , importante para la carne y los huevos,
aunque las aves de corral económicamente valiosas incluyen el pavo , la gallina de
Guinea.y muchas otras especies. Las aves también se mantienen ampliamente como
pájaros de jaula , desde pájaros cantores hasta loros . Los invertebrados
domesticados más establecidos son la abeja melífera y el gusano de seda . Los
caracoles terrestres se crían para la alimentación, mientras que las especies de
varios filos se conservan para la investigación y otras se crían para el control
biológico .

La domesticación de las plantas comenzó hace al menos 12.000 años con los cereales
en Oriente Medio y la calabaza de botella en Asia. La agricultura se desarrolló en
al menos 11 centros diferentes alrededor del mundo, domesticando diferentes
cultivos y animales.

Resumen

Las suculentas como esta planta de gominolas ( Sedum rubrotinctum ) necesitan un


riego poco frecuente, lo que las hace convenientes como plantas de interior .
Domestication, from the Latin domesticus, 'belonging to the house',[15] is "a
sustained multi-generational, mutualistic relationship in which one organism
assumes a significant degree of influence over the reproduction and care of another
organism in order to secure a more predictable supply of a resource of interest,
and through which the partner organism gains advantage over individuals that remain
outside this relationship, thereby benefitting and often increasing the fitness of
both the domesticator and the target domesticate."[1][16][17][18][19] This
definition recognizes both the biological and the cultural components of the
domestication process and the impacts on both humans and the domesticated animals
and plants. All past definitions of domestication have included a relationship
between humans with plants and animals, but their differences lay in who was
considered as the lead partner in the relationship. This new definition recognizes
a mutualistic relationship in which both partners gain benefits. Domestication has
vastly enhanced the reproductive output of crop plants, livestock, and pets far
beyond that of their wild progenitors. Domesticates have provided humans with
resources that they could more predictably and securely control, move, and
redistribute, which has been the advantage that had fueled a population explosion
of the agro-pastoralists and their spread to all corners of the planet.[19]

Houseplants and ornamentals are plants domesticated primarily for aesthetic


enjoyment in and around the home, while those domesticated for large-scale food
production are called crops. Domesticated plants deliberately altered or selected
for special desirable characteristics are cultigens. Animals domesticated for home
companionship are called pets, while those domesticated for food or work are known
as livestock.[citation needed]

This biological mutualism is not restricted to humans with domestic crops and
livestock but is well-documented in nonhuman species, especially among a number of
social insect domesticators and their plant and animal domesticates, for example
the ant–fungus mutualism that exists between leafcutter ants and certain fungi.[1]

Domestication syndrome is the suite of phenotypic traits arising during


domestication that distinguish crops from their wild ancestors.[6][20] The term is
also applied to vertebrate animals, and includes increased docility and tameness,
coat color changes, reductions in tooth size, changes in craniofacial morphology,
alterations in ear and tail form (e.g., floppy ears), more frequent and nonseasonal
estrus cycles, alterations in adrenocorticotropic hormone levels, changed
concentrations of several neurotransmitters, prolongations in juvenile behavior,
and reductions in both total brain size and of particular brain regions.[21]

Cause and timing

Evolution of temperatures in the postglacial period, after the Last Glacial


Maximum, showing very low temperatures for the most part of the Younger Dryas,
rapidly rising afterwards to reach the level of the warm Holocene, based on
Greenland ice cores.[22]
The domestication of animals and plants was triggered by the climatic and
environmental changes that occurred after the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum
around 21,000 years ago and which continue to this present day. These changes made
obtaining food difficult. The first domesticate was the wolf (Canis lupus) at least
15,000 years ago. The Younger Dryas that occurred 12,900 years ago was a period of
intense cold and aridity that put pressure on humans to intensify their foraging
strategies. By the beginning of the Holocene from 11,700 years ago, favorable
climatic conditions and increasing human populations led to small-scale animal and
plant domestication, which allowed humans to augment the food that they were
obtaining through hunter-gathering.[2]

The Neolithic transition led to agricultural societies emerging in locations across


Eurasia, North Africa, and South and Central America. In the Fertile Crescent
10,000-11,000 years ago, zooarchaeology indicates that goats, pigs, sheep, and
taurine cattle were the first livestock to be domesticated. Two thousand years
later, humped zebu cattle were domesticated in what is today Baluchistan in
Pakistan. In East Asia 8,000 years ago, pigs were domesticated from wild boar that
were genetically different from those found in the Fertile Crescent. The horse was
domesticated on the Central Asian steppe 5,500 years ago. Both the chicken in
Southeast Asia and the cat in Egypt were domesticated 4,000 years ago.[2]

The sudden appearance of the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) in the
archaeological record then led to a rapid shift in the evolution, ecology, and
demography of both humans and numerous species of animals and plants.[23][8] It was
followed by livestock and crop domestication, and the transition of humans from
foraging to farming in different places and times across the planet.[23][24][25]
Around 10,000 YBP, a new way of life emerged for humans through the management and
exploitation of plant and animal species, leading to higher-density populations in
the centers of domestication,[23][26] the expansion of agricultural economies, and
the development of urban communities.[23][27]

The domestication of animals is the mutual relationship between animals with the
humans who have influence on their care and reproduction.[1] Charles Darwin
recognized the small number of traits that made domestic species different from
their wild ancestors. He was also the first to recognize the difference between
conscious selective breeding in which humans directly select for desirable traits,
and unconscious selection where traits evolve as a by-product of natural selection
or from selection on other traits.[3][4][5]

There is a genetic difference between domestic and wild populations. There is also
such a difference between the domestication traits that researchers believe to have
been essential at the early stages of domestication, and the improvement traits
that have appeared since the split between wild and domestic populations.[6][7][8]
Domestication traits are generally fixed within all domesticates, and were selected
during the initial episode of domestication of that animal or plant, whereas
improvement traits are present only in a proportion of domesticates, though they
may be fixed in individual breeds or regional populations.[7][8][9]

Domestication of animals should not be confused with taming. Taming is the


conditioned behavioral modification of an individual animal, to reduce its natural
avoidance of humans, and to tolerate the presence of humans. Domestication is the
permanent genetic modification of a bred lineage that leads to an inherited
predisposition to respond calmly to human presence.[29][30][31]

Certain animal species, and certain individuals within those species, make better
candidates for domestication than others because they exhibit certain behavioral
characteristics:[19]:

reactivity to external stimuli.
Mammals
Main articles: Domestication of animals and List of domesticated animals
The beginnings of animal domestication involved a protracted coevolutionary process
with multiple stages along different pathways.[8] There are three proposed major
pathways that most animal domesticates followed into domestication:

commensals, adapted to a human niche (e.g., dogs, cats, fowl, possibly pigs);
prey animals sought for food (e.g., sheep, goats, cattle, water buffalo, yak, pig,
reindeer, llama and alpaca); and
animals targeted for draft and non-food resources (e.g., horse, donkey, camel).[8]
[13][19][35][36][37][38]
The dog was the first domesticant,[11][12] and was established across Eurasia
before the end of the Late Pleistocene era, well before cultivation and before the
domestication of other animals.[11] Humans did not intend to domesticate animals
from either the commensal or prey pathways, or at least they did not envision a
domesticated animal would result from it. In both of those cases, humans became
entangled with these species as the relationship between them intensified, and
humans' role in their survival and reproduction led gradually to formalised animal
husbandry.[8] Although the directed pathway proceeded from capture to taming, the
other two pathways are not as goal-oriented, and archaeological records suggest
that they took place over much longer time frames.[14]

Unlike other domestic species which were primarily selected for production-related
traits, dogs were initially selected for their behaviors.[39][40] The
archaeological and genetic data suggest that long-term bidirectional gene flow
between wild and domestic stocks – including donkeys, horses, New and Old World
camelids, goats, sheep, and pigs – was common.[8][13] One study has concluded that
human selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of
gene flow from wild boars into pigs and created domestication islands in the
genome. The same process may also apply to other domesticated animals.[41][42]

Birds

The red junglefowl of Southeast Asia was domesticated, apparently for cockfighting,
some 7,000 years ago.
Main articles: Poultry and Aviculture
Domesticated birds principally mean poultry, raised for meat and eggs:[43] some
Galliformes (chicken, turkey, guineafowl) and Anseriformes (waterfowl: duck, goose,
swan). Also widely domesticated are cagebirds such as songbirds and parrots; these
are kept both for pleasure and for use in research.[44] The domestic pigeon has
been used both for food and as a means of communication between far-flung places
through the exploitation of the pigeon's homing instinct; research suggests it was
domesticated as early as 10,000 years ago.[45] Chicken fossils in China were dated
7,400 years ago. The chicken's wild ancestor is Gallus gallus, the red junglefowl
of Southeast Asia. It appears to have been kept initially for cockfighting rather
than for food.[46]

Invertebrates

Two insects, the silkworm and the western honey bee, have been domesticated for
over 5,000 years, often for commercial use. The silkworm is raised for the silk
threads wound around its pupal cocoon; the western honey bee, for honey, and,
lately, for pollination of crops.[47]

Several other invertebrates have been domesticated, both terrestrial and aquatic,
including some such as Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies and the freshwater
cnidarian Hydra for research into genetics and physiology. Few have a long history
of domestication. Most are used for food or other products such as shellac and
cochineal. The phyla involved are Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes (for biological
control), Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda (marine crustaceans as well as insects and
spiders), and Echinodermata. While many marine molluscs are used for food, only a
few have been domesticated, including squid, cuttlefish and octopus, all used in
research on behaviour and neurology. Terrestrial snails in the genera Helix and
Murex are raised for food. Several parasitic or parasitoidal insects including the
fly Eucelatoria, the beetle Chrysolina, and the wasp Aphytis are raised for
biological control. Conscious or unconscious artificial selection has many effects
on species under domestication; variability can readily be lost by inbreeding,
selection against undesired traits, or genetic drift, while in Drosophila,
variability in eclosion time (when adults emerge) has increased.[48]

The initial domestication of animals impacted most on the genes that controlled
their behavior, but the initial domestication of plants impacted most on the genes
that controlled their morphology (seed size, plant architecture, dispersal
mechanisms) and their physiology (timing of germination or ripening).[19][25]

The domestication of wheat provides an example. Wild wheat shatters and falls to
the ground to reseed itself when ripe, but domesticated wheat stays on the stem for
easier harvesting. This change was possible because of a random mutation in the
wild populations at the beginning of wheat's cultivation. Wheat with this mutation
was harvested more frequently and became the seed for the next crop. Therefore,
without realizing, early farmers selected for this mutation. The result is
domesticated wheat, which relies on farmers for its reproduction and dissemination.
[49]

History
Further information: History of agriculture
Farmers with wheat and cattle – Ancient Egyptian art 3,400 years ago
The earliest human attempts at plant domestication occurred in the Middle East.
There is early evidence for conscious cultivation and trait selection of plants by
pre-Neolithic groups in Syria: grains of rye with domestic traits dated 13,000
years ago have been recovered from Abu Hureyra in Syria,[50] but this appears to be
a localised phenomenon resulting from cultivation of stands of wild rye, rather
than a definitive step towards domestication.[50]

The bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) plant, used as a container before the advent
of ceramic technology, appears to have been domesticated 10,000 years ago. The
domesticated bottle gourd reached the Americas from Asia by 8,000 years ago, most
likely due to the migration of peoples from Asia to America.[51]

Cereal crops were first domesticated around 11,000 years ago in the Fertile
Crescent in the Middle East. The first domesticated crops were generally annuals
with large seeds or fruits. These included pulses such as peas and grains such as
wheat. The Middle East was especially suited to these species; the dry-summer
climate was conducive to the evolution of large-seeded annual plants, and the
variety of elevations led to a great variety of species. As domestication took
place humans began to move from a hunter-gatherer society to a settled agricultural
society. This change would eventually lead, some 4000 to 5000 years later, to the
first city states and eventually the rise of civilization itself.

Continued domestication was gradual, a process of intermittent trial and error, and
often resulted in diverging traits and characteristics.[52] Over time perennials
and small trees including the apple and the olive were domesticated. Some plants,
such as the macadamia nut and the pecan, were not domesticated until recently.

In other parts of the world very different species were domesticated. In the
Americas squash, maize, beans, and perhaps manioc (also known as cassava) formed
the core of the diet. In East Asia millet, rice, and soy were the most important
crops. Some areas of the world such as Southern Africa, Australia, California and
southern South America never saw local species domesticated.

Differences from wild plants


Domesticated plants may differ from their wild relatives in many ways, including

the way they spread to a more diverse environment and have a wider geographic
range;[53]
different ecological preference (sun, water, temperature, nutrients, etc.
requirements), different disease susceptibility;
conversion from a perennial to annual;
loss of seed dormancy and photoperiodic controls;
simultaneous flower and fruit, double flowers;
a lack of shattering or scattering of seeds, or even loss of their dispersal
mechanisms completely;
less efficient breeding system (e.g. lack normal pollinating organs, making human
intervention a requirement), smaller seeds with lower success in the wild, or even
complete sexual sterility (e.g. seedless fruits) and therefore only vegetative
reproduction;
less defensive adaptations such as hairs, thorns, spines, and prickles, poison,
protective coverings and sturdiness, rendering them more likely to be eaten by
animals and pests unless cared by humans;
chemical composition, giving them better palatability (e.g. sugar content), better
smell, and lower toxicity;[54]
edible part larger, and easier separated from non-edible part (e.g. freestone
fruit).
The impact of domestication on the plant microbiome
A conceptual figure on the impact of domestication on the plant endophytic
microbiome. (a) A phylogenetic distance among Malus species which contains wild
species (black branches) and progenitor wild species (blue branches). The extended
green branch represents Malus domestica with its close affiliation its main
ancestor (M. sieversii). Dashed lines indicate introgression events between Malus
progenitors which contributed to the formation of M. domestica. (b) The predicted
three scenarios: Scenario 1, reduction in species diversity due to loss in
microbial species; Scenario 2, increase in microbial diversity due to introgressive
hybridization during the apple domestication; Scenario 3, diversity was not
affected by domestication.[55]
The microbiome, defined as the collection of microorganisms inhabiting the surface
and internal tissue of plants, has been shown to be affected by plant domestication
and breeding. This includes variation the microbial community composition [56][57]
[55] to change in the number of microbial species associated with plants, i.e.,
species diversity.[58][55] Evidence also show that plant lineage, including
speciation, domestication, and breeding have shaped the plant endophytes in similar
patterns as plant genes.[55] Such patterns are also known as phylosymbiosis which
have been observed in several animal and plant lineages.[59][60][61]

Traits that are being genetically improved


There are many challenges facing modern farmers, including climate change, pests,
soil salinity, drought, and periods with limited sunlight.[62]

Drought is one of the most serious challenges facing farmers today. With shifting
climates comes shifting weather patterns, meaning that regions that could
traditionally rely on a substantial amount of precipitation were, quite literally,
left out to dry. In light of these conditions, drought resistance in major crop
plants has become a clear priority.[63] One method is to identify the genetic basis
of drought resistance in naturally drought resistant plants, i.e. the Bambara
groundnut. Next, transferring these advantages to otherwise vulnerable crop plants.
Rice, which is one of the most vulnerable crops in terms of drought, has been
successfully improved by the addition of the Barley hva1 gene into the genome using
transgenetics. Drought resistance can also be improved through changes in a plant's
root system architecture,[64] such as a root orientation that maximizes water
retention and nutrient uptake. There must be a continued focus on the efficient
usage of available water on a planet that is expected to have a population in
excess of nine-billion people by 2050.

Another specific area of genetic improvement for domesticated crops is the crop
plant's uptake and utilization of soil potassium, an essential element for crop
plants yield and overall quality. A plant's ability to effectively uptake potassium
and utilize it efficiently is known as its potassium utilization efficiency.[65] It
has been suggested that first optimizing plant root architecture and then root
potassium uptake activity may effectively improve plant potassium utilization
efficiency.

Crop plants that are being genetically improved


Cereals, rice, wheat, corn, sorghum and barley, make up a huge amount of the global
diet across all demographic and social scales. These cereal crop plants are all
autogamous, i.e. self-fertilizing, which limits overall diversity in allelic
combinations, and therefore adaptability to novel environments.[66] To combat this
issue the researchers suggest an "Island Model of Genomic Selection". By breaking a
single large population of cereal crop plants into several smaller sub-populations
which can receive "migrants" from the other subpopulations, new genetic
combinations can be generated.

The Bambara groundnut is a durable crop plant that, like many underutilized crops,
has received little attention in an agricultural sense. The Bambara Groundnut is
drought resistant and is known to be able to grow in almost any soil conditions, no
matter how impoverished an area may be. New genomic and transcriptomic approaches
are allowing researchers to improve this relatively small-scale crop, as well as
other large-scale crop plants.[67] The reduction in cost, and wide availability of
both microarray technology and Next Generation Sequencing have made it possible to
analyze underutilized crops, like the groundnut, at genome-wide level. Not
overlooking particular crops that don't appear to hold any value outside of the
developing world will be key to not only overall crop improvement, but also to
reducing the global dependency on only a few crop plants, which holds many
intrinsic dangers to the global population's food supply.[67]

Challenges facing genetic improvement


The semi-arid tropics, ranging from parts of North and South Africa, Asia
especially in the South Pacific, all the way to Australia are notorious for being
both economically destitute and agriculturally difficult to cultivate and farm
effectively. Barriers include everything from lack of rainfall and diseases, to
economic isolation and environmental irresponsibility.[68] There is a large
interest in the continued efforts, of the International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRSAT) to improve staple foods. some mandated crops of
ICRISAT include the groundnut, pigeonpea, chickpea, sorghum and pearl millet, which
are the main staple foods for nearly one billion people in the semi-arid tropics.
[69] As part of the ICRISAT efforts, some wild plant breeds are being used to
transfer genes to cultivated crops by interspecific hybridization involving modern
methods of embryo rescue and tissue culture.[70] One example of early success has
been work to combat the very detrimental peanut clump virus. Transgenetic plants
containing the coat protein gene for resistance against peanut clump virus have
already been produced successfully.[69] Another region threatened by food security
are the Pacific Island Countries, which are disproportionally faced with the
negative effects of climate change. The Pacific Islands are largely made up of a
chain of small bodies of land, which obviously limits the amount of geographical
area in which to farm. This leaves the region with only two viable options 1.)
increase agricultural production or 2.) increase food importation. The latter of
course runs into the issues of availability and economic feasibility, leaving only
the first option as a viable means to solve the region's food crisis. It is much
easier to misuse the limited resources remaining, as compared with solving the
problem at its core.[71]

Working with wild plants to improve domestics


Work has also has been focusing on improving domestic crops through the use of crop
wild relatives.[69] The amount and depth of genetic material available in crop wild
relatives is larger than originally believed, and the range of plants involved,
both wild and domestic, is ever expanding.[72] Through the use of new
biotechnological tools such as genome editing, cisgenesis/intragenesis, the
transfer of genes between crossable donor species including hybrids, and other omic
approaches.[72]

Wild plants can be hybridized with crop plants to form perennial crops from
annuals, increase yield, growth rate, and resistance to outside pressures like
disease and drought.[73] Importantly, these changes take significant lengths of
time to achieve, sometimes even decades. However, the outcome can be extremely
successful as is the case with a hybrid grass variant known as Kernza.[73] Over the
course of nearly three decades, work was done on an attempted hybridization between
an already domesticated grass strain, and several of its wild relatives. The
domesticated strain as was more uniform in its orientation, but the wild strains
were larger and propagated faster. The resulting Kernza crop has traits from both
progenitors: uniform orientation and a linearly vertical root system from the
domesticated crop, along with increased size and rate of propagation from the wild
relatives.[73]
Fungi and micro-organisms

Button mushrooms are widely cultivated for food.


Several species of fungi have been domesticated for use directly as food, or in
fermentation to produce foods and drugs. The white button mushroom Agaricus
bisporus is widely grown for food.[74] The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been
used for thousands of years to ferment beer and wine, and to leaven bread.[75]
Mould fungi including Penicillium are used to mature cheeses and other dairy
products, as well as to make drugs such as antibiotics.[76]

Effects
On domestic animals
Selection of animals for visible "desirable" traits may have undesired
consequences. Captive and domesticated animals often have smaller size, piebald
color, shorter faces with smaller and fewer teeth, diminished horns, weak muscle
ridges, and less genetic variability. Poor joint definition, late fusion of the
limb bone epiphyses with the diaphyses, hair changes, greater fat accumulation,
smaller brains, simplified behavior patterns, extended immaturity, and more
pathology are among the defects of domestic animals. All of these changes have been
documented by archaeological evidence, and confirmed by animal breeders in the 20th
century.[77] In 2014, a study proposed the theory that under selection, docility in
mammals and birds results partly from a slowed pace of neural crest development,
that would in turn cause a reduced fear–startle response due to mild
neurocristopathy that causes domestication syndrome. The theory was unable to
explain curly tails nor domestication syndrome exhibited by plants.[21]

A side effect of domestication has been zoonotic diseases. For example, cattle have
given humanity various viral poxes, measles, and tuberculosis; pigs and ducks have
given influenza; and horses have given the rhinoviruses. Many parasites have their
origins in domestic animals.[4][page needed] The advent of domestication resulted
in denser human populations which provided ripe conditions for pathogens to
reproduce, mutate, spread, and eventually find a new host in humans.[78]

Paul Shepard writes "Man substitutes controlled breeding for natural selection;
animals are selected for special traits like milk production or passivity, at the
expense of overall fitness and nature-wide relationships...Though domestication
broadens the diversity of forms – that is, increases visible polymorphism – it
undermines the crisp demarcations that separate wild species and cripples our
recognition of the species as a group. Knowing only domestic animals dulls our
understanding of the way in which unity and discontinuity occur as patterns in
nature, and substitutes an attention to individuals and breeds. The wide variety of
size, color, shape, and form of domestic horses, for example, blurs the distinction
among different species of Equus that once were constant and meaningful."[79]

On society
Jared Diamond in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel describes the universal tendency
for populations that have acquired agriculture and domestic animals to develop a
large population and to expand into new territories. He recounts migrations of
people armed with domestic crops overtaking, displacing or killing indigenous
hunter-gatherers,[4]: 
112  whose lifestyle is coming to an end.[4]: 
86 

Some anarcho-primitivist authors describe domestication as the process by which


previously nomadic human populations shifted towards a sedentary or settled
existence through agriculture and animal husbandry. They claim that this kind of
domestication demands a totalitarian relationship with both the land and the plants
and animals being domesticated. They say that whereas, in a state of wildness, all
life shares and competes for resources, domestication destroys this balance.
Domesticated landscape (e.g. pastoral lands/agricultural fields and, to a lesser
degree, horticulture and gardening) ends the open sharing of resources; where "this
was everyone's", it is now "mine". Anarcho-primitivists state that this notion of
ownership laid the foundation for social hierarchy as property and power emerged.
It also involved the destruction, enslavement, or assimilation of other groups of
early people who did not make such a transition.[80]

Under the framework of Dialectical naturalism, Murray Bookchin has argued that the
basic notion of domestication is incomplete: That, since the domestication of
animals is a crucial development within human history, it can also be understood as
the domestication of humanity itself in turn. Under this dialectical framework,
domestication is always a 'two-way street' with both parties being unavoidably
altered by their relationship with each other.[81]

David Nibert, professor of sociology at Wittenberg University, posits that the


domestication of animals, which he refers to as "domesecration" as it often
involved extreme violence against animal populations and the devastation of the
environment, resulted in the corruption of human ethics, and helped pave the way
for societies steeped in "conquest, extermination, displacement, repression,
coerced and enslaved servitude, gender subordination and sexual exploitation, and
hunger."[82]

On diversity

Industrialized wheat harvest – North America today


Further information: Sustainable agriculture
In 2016, a study found that humans have had a major impact on global genetic
diversity as well as extinction rates, including a contribution to megafaunal
extinctions. Pristine landscapes no longer exist and have not existed for
millennia, and humans have concentrated the planet's biomass into human-favored
plants and animals. Domesticated ecosystems provide food, reduce predator and
natural dangers, and promote commerce, but have also resulted in habitat loss and
extinctions commencing in the Late Pleistocene. Ecologists and other researchers
are advised to make better use of the archaeological and paleoecological data
available for gaining an understanding the history of human impacts before
proposing solutions.[83]
