Description:
|
The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication is a book by Charles Darwin, first published in 1868. It is a study of how domestic animals and plants have changed over time through artificial selection, which is the process by which humans have chosen certain traits to be passed on to future generations. The book discusses how these changes have occurred, the implications of these changes, and their relationship to the theory of evolution by natural selection. The book also includes case studies of various domesticated animals and plants, including horses, cattle, dogs, and plants such as wheat and cabbages. The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication is considered a classic in the field of evolutionary biology and still widely used in research today.
