The origins of animal domestication and husbandry: A major change in the history of humanity and the biosphere
Abstract
This article aims to summarize the present archaeo(zoo)logical knowledge and reflections on the origins of Neolithic animal domestication. It targets the main characteristics of early Neolithic animal domestication set against a backdrop of two complementary scales, namely the global and macro-regional scales (the latter using the example of the Near East). It discusses the conceptual and methodological issues, arguing in favor of an anthropozoological approach taking into account the intentions and the dynamics of human societies and critically analyzes the reductionist neo-Darwinian concepts of co-evolution and human niche construction. It also provides a brief discussion on the birth of ungulate domestication and its roots, as well as appropriate bibliographic references to enlighten the current status of domestication research.

“Sites in the Middle Euphrates valley (10,800–10,300 years ago), the Tigris basin (~10,200 years ago), and the Northern Jordan Valley (during the 8th millennium) exhibit the initial morphological indicators of domestication, such as reduction in sexual dimorphism and body size [22,23,24].”

“This is consistent with the view that domestication may be best represented as a spectrum or continuum [120], with a polygenic basis and non-uniform symptomatology.”

“One alternate hypothesis is that the process of domestication is continual and 113 does not proceed in a stepwise manner [4], instead representing a series of phases reflecting 114 an intensification of the relationship between a wild animal (or plant) and human societies 115 [5].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
