馴養(yǎng)野生動物 the domestication of wild animal

Background knowledge:

The domestication of animals is the mutual relationship between animals and the humans who have influence on their care and reproduction.Charles Darwin recognized the small number of traits that made domesticated species different from their wild ancestors. He was also the first to recognize the difference between conscious selective breeding in which humans directly select for desirable traits, and unconscious selection where traits evolve as a by-product of natural selection or from selection on other traits.

動物的馴化是動物與照料和繁殖動物的人類之間的相互關系。Charles Darwin認識到家養(yǎng)物種與它們的野生祖先有不同的一些小性狀。他也是第一個認識到人類選擇性地選擇符合自己要求的理想性狀的物種與無意識選擇的物種之間的區(qū)別的地方，其特征是自然選擇的副產(chǎn)物。
