domesticating animals

Domesticating animals involves the process of adapting wild species for human use, such as for companionship, work, or food. This process typically includes selective breeding for traits that are beneficial or desirable, such as tameness, docility, or productivity. Over time, humans have formed mutually beneficial relationships with these animals, providing them with care and protection in exchange for their services or companionship. Common examples of domesticated animals include dogs, cats, cattle, and chickens, each developed from wild ancestors to better suit human needs and environments.
