What is science? - learning through observations and hypotheses about the natural world
- the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural
world through observation and experiment
- knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially
as obtained and tested through scientific method
What is animal science? the study of the biology of animals under the control of mankind
- one of the oldest sciences
What does animal science cover? husbandry, reproduction, nutrition, veterinary health, genetics,
physiology/metabolism, behavior, and welfare
What was the first animal to be domesticated? The Wolf
What is domestication? the process of changing plants or animals to make them more useful to humans
True or False. Domesticated animals genetically differ True
from their ancestors.
When were dogs domesticated? 15,000 years ago
- used by hunter-gatherers

When were sheeps, goats, pigs, and cows 10,000 years ago
domesticated? - neolithic era/settlement lifestyle (origins of farming)
When were cats domesticated? 7,000 years ago
When were horses, llamas and alpacas domesticated? 5,000 years ago
When were chickens domesticated? 4,000 years ago
When were ferrets and camels domesticated? 3,000 years ago
When were rabbits and ducks domesticated? 1,000 years ago
When were mice and rats domesticated? 1664 & 1880
What are some reasons we domesticate animals? For human use: drug testing, companionship, food/fiber, clothing, material,
resources, transportation, entertainment, control of another species, war,
religious ceremonies, guiding and working animals, scientific research, hunting,
protection, economic - income, financial asset, social value
What are the features of domestication? - Changes driven based on human desired traits (a type of selection pressure)
- Animals change genetically and physically (appearance, behavior, and
physiology)
- Domestication does not equal tame
- Domestication always involves genetic change
- An evolutionary process driven by selection pressures

What are the two theories as to how we domesticated Adoption and Adaption
dogs?
What is the adoption theory? Artificial Selection: humans took and bred together animals that had traits (lame,
fast, strong) that were useful to them
What is the adaption theory? Natural Selection: wolves chose domestication because of easy pickings
Animals were able to take advantage of living close to humans and were more
likely to survive and reproduce
What is tameness? A gradual habituation to humans, characterized by reduced fearfulness of
humans
Are domestication and tameness the same thing? No. Domestication is not tameness. Wild animals can be tamed but are not
domesticated.
What behavioral traits would be selected during Tame-able, small flight zone, protective, non-aggressive towards humans, loyal,
domestication? (what wild animal traits would be readily controlled, attention seeking
useful?)
What does a small flight zone mean? the animal is less fearful
What is the flight zone? an animals personal space
Why would you want a domesticated animal to have a Interact with species other than their own, not aggressive, live in groups, have
social behavior? dominance hierarchies, minimize territorial behavior (groups can overlap home
range), regular social grooming activities
