Domestication / Richard C Francis / New York : W. W. Norton & Company (2015)

Public ISBD Titre : Domestication : Evolution in a man-made world Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Richard C Francis, Auteur Editeur : New York : W. W. Norton & Company Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 484 p. couv. non ill. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-393-06460-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Comportement animal Elevage Histoire Index. décimale : 636.009 Élevage - Histoire Résumé : "A natural storyteller, Richard C. Francis weaves history, archaeology, and anthropology to create a fascinating narrative while seamlessly integrating the most cutting-edge ideas in twenty-first-century biology, from genomics to evo-devo. Each domesticated species is a case study in evolution. Two key themes emerge: that domestication often results in the retention of juvenile traits, and that, for all the spectacular alterations wrought by natural and artificial selection, evolution remains fundamentally a conservative process: the Pekingese, for example, retains ample evidence of its wolf ancestry. In the final chapters, Francis explores the ways in which these themes apply to human evolution."

The process of animal domestication / Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra / Princeton : Princeton University Press (2022)

Public ISBD Titre : The process of animal domestication Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, Auteur Editeur : Princeton : Princeton University Press Année de publication : 2022 Importance : 352 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-691-21767-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Animal domestique Domestication animale Histoire Insecte Mammifère Oiseau Poisson Index. décimale : 636.009 Élevage - Histoire Résumé : The first modern scholarly synthesis of animal domestication Across the globe and at different times in the past millennia, the evolutionary history of domesticated animals has been greatly affected by the myriad, complex, and diverse interactions humans have had with the animals closest to them. The Process of Animal Domestication presents a broad synthesis of this subject, from the rich biology behind the initial stages of domestication to how the creation of breeds reflects cultural and societal transformations that have impacted the biosphere. Marcelo Sánchez-Villagra draws from a wide range of fields, including evolutionary biology, zooarchaeology, ethnology, genetics, developmental biology, and evolutionary morphology to provide a fresh perspective to this classic topic. Relying on various conceptual and technical tools, he examines the natural history of phenotypes and their developmental origins. He presents case studies involving mammals, birds, fish, and insect species, and he highlights the importance of domestication for the comprehension of evolution, anatomy, ontogeny, and dozens of fundamental biological processes. Bringing together the most current developments, The Process of Animal Domestication will interest a wide range of readers, from evolutionary biologists, developmental biologists, and geneticists to anthropologists and archaeologists.
