You may mean domestication, which is to control the behavior or reproduction of animals.
demestication
the oldest human need is demestication of animals
5000 to 6000 years ago approx.
Animal and plant genetic domestication occurs by breeding two with the most desirable traits, then of those, two with even more desireable traits, and so on, until you have a genetically "perfect" specimen. For example, take two runt puppies from two separate litters and breed them, and theoretically the litter born of those two will produce smaller puppies. For simply domesticating, training and picking specimens with desireable personality traits is required. As for plants, another way to domesticate is through adding chemicals to soil, changing environment (such as putting them into a hothouse) even gene splicing or plant splicing (adding branches of one species to the stem or roots of another)
as they started raising crops and animals, they needed to stay in one place. once people were able to control their own food production, the world's population grew.
