From Hunting – Gathering to Growing Food — Social Studies STD 6 — Question

‘Domestication’ is a process in which plants and animals have been domesticated. Plants are grown and animals are reared in a suitable way. The early people selected those plants and animals that were not prone to disease.

Amongst animals, those that were relatively gentle, were selected. Likewise, plants that were relatively productive were selected. As a result, gradually, domesticated plants and animals became different from wild animals and plants.
