the process by which plants, animals or microbes selected from the wild adapt to a special habitat created for them by humans.
the taming of plants and animals in order to control their availability for human use
the process by which wild animals become suited to living with humans.
The adaptation of an animal species to living with (and depending on) humans.
The process by which plants or animals are taken out of their own `wild' environment and raised in man-made environment.
adaptation to intimate association with human beings
the genetic adaptation of a population of animals, by selection, to life in intimate association with and to the advantage of man.
The process by which a wild plant or animal species is bred under human control, for the purposes of providing humans with a steady supply of food and/or other raw materials. A species which has been domesticated is therefore entirely dependent on human interference for its propagation and sustenance.
A process that tames animals and their offspring, so that they may live in close contact with humans.
The process whereby the genetic make-up of a species is changed by artificial slection in such a way that the plants become dependent on humans for their survival.
Modification or adaptation of plants and animals for use by humans.
Taking animals from their natural habitat into the human habitat, then changing them in ways that make them more suitable to living with humans.
The process of socialization that humans go through to learn to think, act, and see like our parents and other humans.
the human propagation of selected species
The process of altering, through directed selection, the genetic makeup of a species so as to increase the species’ usefulness to humans.
The social life of information - rather than the idea of business information or intelligence look at more human attributes. School friends debating whether to tell the best friend they saw their boy/girl friend with another.
Through artificial selection, the production of new species of plants and animals that owe their existence to human intervention. Some domesticated species become so highly specialized to the demands of human beings that they can no longer survive and propagate without human assistance.
Domestication is a phenomenon whereby a wild biological organism is habituated to survive in the company of, or by the labour of, human beings. Domesticated animals, plants, and other organisms are those whose collective behaviour, life cycle, or physiology has been altered as a result of their breeding and living conditions under careful human control for multiple generations.
