Product Description
Humans have manipulated and changed the way of life of other mammals for thousands of years. This new second edition of A Natural History of Domesticated Mammals explores recent progress in understanding the origins of domestication and its spread, both biologically and culturally, across the world. The author includes current archaeological evidence for the earliest dating of domestication of each species, reflecting the recent growth of such studies. This second edition is printed in full color throughout.
Reader Reviews
This book is well written and researched. It has numerous photos and lovely illustrations. I learned an amusing term for housecats - "exploiting captive". My only complaint is that the book was too short.
