Domestication

When I first wrote the vignette “Shopping Run”, I identified two main connections between the subjects given. The first connection was between Allison and the animal domestication tribe territory. In Allison’s description, I saw that she joined the farming tribe in part because she felt eating grown produce was better than eating meat. The second connection I explored was that both of the character’s I had assigned (Allison and Xander) were from the fertility tribe. I felt it would create some…

Animal domestication first started in the Fertile Crescent shortly after agriculture was discovered. Since places like Papua New Guinea and the Fertile Crescent are so different geographically, they are unable to domesticate the same animals. In order for an animal…

always cuts to the point. In our history book, it gives approximately 3 paragraphs in the book about the domestication of plants and animals, which is just a small dent in our 30+ page chapters. While in Jared Diamond’s writing, he wrote over 4 pages just about the domestication of animals. “Big domestic mammals further revolutionized human society” (Diamond 90). Diamond discussed the domestication of animals and the leads that went along with it. Agricultural societies had domesticated large…

domesticated, as believed, roughly 15,000 years ago, the event (or events) would have coincided with a large expansion in human territory and the development of agriculture. This has led some biologists to suggest one of the forces that led to the domestication of dogs was a shift in human lifestyle in the form of established human settlements. Permanent settlements would have coincided with a greater amount of disposable food and would have created a barrier between wild and anthropogenic…

French, slavery was motivated by economic purposes; to enable growth and advancement of their economy, population, and society. These differing motivations resulted in distinctive methods of captivity and domestication. The indigenous peoples valued dominance over their enemy rather than domestication, as they were motivated by revenge, and to caution their enemies. They are described as having performed unnecessarily violent physical and verbal acts on their captives, such as, tearing off the…

effort, is what produced the advancements that cultivated these groups into complex civilizations. Going back however, we see that none of this is possible without having the appropriate supply of food that agriculture, food storage, and animal domestication provided them. Infrastructure may be the backbone of a civilization, but it’s the control of food surplus that fuels it, and is what gave way to the large and intricate system we know…

environmental degradation including deforestation emerged among dense agricultural populations. However, the domestication and animal husbandry, pyrotechnology and trade permitted…

in the Americas, specifically in the Mexico area. It is seen that one specific origin, namely teosinte, can have a tremendous impact on the domestication of crops that can be seen throughout history. The domestication of maize is very drastic, and such a clear change is evident. Maize started out as pollen, seed, and grass, whereas now because of domestication, there are full cobs of corn, large and completely different in comparison to its…

always been disadvantaged because the Europeans have mastered the method of animal domestication and gathering. It is hard for New Guineans to develop animal domestication because pigs are the only animals they can access. The Europeans developed because of the Middle East. 13,000 years ago the middle east had lots of food supply and humid. There were more forests, trees and plants. About 9,000 years ago animal domestication was brought in after gathering. They learned how to control their…

Central Idea: Information about the origin of the domesticated dog. Introduction I. Have you ever wondered where the long, diverse list of beautiful dog breeds came from? II. Well today I’m going to explain how the interaction with early humans and their haphazard discovery of domestication has led from the predecessor of the modern day wolf to the…
