7.3.05 [ Genetic Manipulation Begins with Agricultural Husbandry ] 0 comments

Humans began domesticating aspects of the environment 12 000 years ago in an attempt to "increase the availability of the desirable species and desired traits of these species". The ancient agrarian humans engaged in the selective breeding of their environment which has had an undeniable effect on the diversity of organisms available today. Rather than surviving macrogenerational competition by having the most fit genetic endowment of traits for some environmental habitat, some species were selected by humans for domestication.

"Consequently, animals which would never have survived in the wild managed to survive reproduce and subsequently create an entirely new breed of animal with characteristics that do not appear in the wild".

The repercussion of this process, repeated through millennia, is that humans became dependent upon agriculture and domesticated livestock which were generally unable to survive in some unmanaged environment. And,

"[...]as humans became increasingly dependent on domesticated plants and animals, they lost knowledge and skills required to subsist by hunting and gathering, and thus became dependent on domesticated species".
