domestication of plants and animals

Domestication of plants and animals is the process by which humans cultivate and breed species for specific purposes, such as food, labor, or companionship. This began thousands of years ago when early humans transitioned from hunting and gathering to agriculture. As a result, wild species were selected for traits like size, yield, or temperament, leading to the development of crops we eat today, like wheat and corn, as well as animals like dogs, cows, and chickens. This symbiotic relationship has significantly shaped human society, providing stable food sources and enhancing our daily lives.
