domesticated species

Domesticated species are plants or animals that humans have selectively bred and adapted over generations for specific purposes, such as food, work, companionship, or other benefits. Unlike wild counterparts, domesticated species often exhibit traits suited to human needs, like calmer behavior or higher productivity. These species have evolved alongside humans, forming an integral part of societies and economies, and their genetic makeup has been influenced by human interference to enhance desirable characteristics. Examples include dogs, cattle, wheat, and chickens.
