"The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication" by Charles Darwin explores the ways in which domestic animals and plants differ from their wild counterparts due to human intervention. In this seminal work, Darwin examines the effects of selective breeding, environmental factors, and the role of inheritance in shaping variations. He discusses examples from various species, providing insights into how domestication impacts traits and behaviors. The first volume delves into the principles of variation and includes observations from agriculture, animal husbandry, and horticulture, supporting the idea that humans have significantly influenced the course of natural selection through their choices and practices.
