How Did Domestication Of Animals Start And Evolve? by Krayola(m): 4:46pm On Mar 03, 2010
Not sure what section to put this. . . But I'm just curious about how the whole idea of domesticating animals came about. I'm sure at some point humans figured out not all animals were potential predators, and were not threatened by every Tom, di.c.k and bingo that showed up. But the idea of kidnapping bingo, giving it a last name, and being responsible for its welfare, how did that evolve? . . .  Does anyone have any insight into this phenomenon? please share smiley

please indicate which animal species you wish to learn, each had its own specific history and method of domestication.
