Overview

Domestication is the process of selectively breeding wild animals or plants to establish desirable traits. Domestication has been important to our species for centuries, allowing us to grow crops and cultivate animals for food, draft and transport, and as companions. Domestication has also enabled us to develop entirely new species, such as the modern domestic dog. Domestication has allowed us to expand our diets, develop new technologies, and create a more diverse and interconnected world.
