Chickens were domesticated from wild ancestors, primarily the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus), around 8,000 years ago in Southeast Asia. Through selective breeding, humans enhanced specific traits such as size, egg production, and temperament, leading to the modern domestic chicken we have today. This process involved both natural selection and human intervention to optimize chickens for agricultural purposes. Over time, various breeds emerged, adapted to different environments and human needs.
