Domestication is the condition and/or process of genetically and environmentally induced developmental adaptation to man and captivity (Price 1984 ). Several trends are commonly observed in domesticated animals. Most notable are the changes in morphology including pigmentation, size, and relative skeletal proportion (Belyaev 1969 ; Price 1984 ). These may be hugely divergent between domestic animals and their progenitor counterparts (Belyaev 1969 , 1979 ; Price 1984 ; Trut 1999 , 2001 ). Domestication is also associated with marked changes in reproductive physiology, accelerated sexual maturity, increased fecundity, loss of reproductive seasonality, and longer periods of reproductive receptivity. However, it . . . [Full Text of this Article]
