Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World

Domesticated: Evolution in a Man-Made World explores how human selection and controlled environments have fundamentally reshaped the species we live alongside. Richard examines the biological and behavioral changes that occur when animals adapt to life under human care, tracing this process across millennia and across continents.

The book moves beyond simple animal husbandry to investigate the deeper evolutionary forces at work. Domestication is shown not merely as a practical achievement but as one of history's most consequential biological events - one that altered the trajectory of both human civilization and the animals bound to it. Richard connects domesticated species to broader patterns in evolution, demonstrating how artificial selection has produced morphological changes, temperament shifts, and even unexpected side effects across multiple generations.

Readers interested in natural history, evolutionary biology, and the long relationship between humans and animals will find substantial arguments grounded in genetic and archaeological evidence. The narrative spans from the domestication of wolves and crops in prehistoric times through modern applications of selective breeding.
