Domestication

Domestication is the process by which humans cultivate and breed wild plants and animals to create species that are more useful, tame, or manageable for human needs. This involves selecting traits that enhance productivity, companionship, or obedience, leading to animals like dogs and livestock, and crops like wheat and corn. Over generations, domesticated species adapt to living alongside humans, often becoming less aggressive or more productive. This process has significantly shaped agriculture, economy, and society, helping humans settle and form communities.
