this process started several years ago many people cant tell when but it was a long time ago anyway
Ever since man first started keeping animals confined. Early man discovered breeding certain animals increased (for example) their muscle size - and thus produced more meat.
selective breeding; been going on for thousands of years. genetic engineering; been going on for decades.
In the sense that selective breeding can be considered genetic modification, humans have been genetically modifying animals since prehistoric times.
-Humans have used selective breeding for ages. Horses were originally too small to carry a human alone for any considerable distance, hence the invention of chariots, but selective breeding allowed horses to evolve to sizes that could easily carry even the heaviest passengers. Cattle were bred to produce more milk, and produce more meat. Dogs were bred to fill a variety of jobs, from farming, to hunting, to fighting.
Most of the domesticated plants and animals you are familiar with have been produced through selective breeding. Dogs, cats, cows, goats, corn, grass, tomatoes, etc .
Horse, Dog, and Cat.
Absalutly no way at ALL!
it is useful to humans because if they are looking into raising a foal, to grow up to be a great race horse they would want the parents to be healthy and quite fit. Also if they wanted to raise it to be a jumping horse, they would have to mate a healthy and muscular mare with a healthy and muscular stud. Hope that helps with your question? x
Makes you less hungry.Keep in mind that humans have been manipulating the genomes of food crops for thousands of years by selective breeding. Modern methods simply speed the process.
Yes. This has almost been done, in fact, say some. A breeding-back programme has commenced, through selective breeding of the southern Plains Zebras.
All the breeds have been found to howl at the moon just like the wolf.
It is called selective breeding.
Wolves are wild animals, dogs have been domesticated over thousands of years. Domestication is selective breeding of animals with wanted traits. People have been breeding dogs with traits of kindness towards humans. Although, some behaviors of wolves still remain in dogs, such as devotion to its pack. Feral dogs are closer to wolves however. Feral means that there has been no interaction with humans, causing a state where some dogs can become almost the same as their wild counterparts.
