Oh, I should say one thing that made Takamine unique was that unlike most scientists of the time, he didn't mind patenting his processes. domesticate , to taking the science of that and turning it into a technological process, one that's precise, and one that we use all the time.
And they were also beginning to see all sorts of other things appear in their foxes by this time. Domesticated pups by the mid '70s opened their eyes, on average, a day earlier than the control foxes or wild foxes.Domesticated pups respond to sounds two days earlier than typical foxes.
Domesticated pups by the mid '70s opened their eyes, on average, a day earlier than the control foxes or wild foxes.Domesticated pups respond to sounds two days earlier than typical foxes.Females have a slightly extended reproductive season.
Typically, wild foxes breed for about 10 days in late January or early February. Domesticated foxes, particularly the elite domesticated foxes, were in breeding state for about 14 days-- so a real difference, not dramatic,but a real difference.
space and then put things on the on the on the cube in various places so in this domesticated but has evolved by natural selection to thrive in human
industrialized so they've been grown in um industrialized cultures for a long period of time and are essentially domesticated microbes so you swallow these products they go in they don't do very much and they leave again theycertainly don't establish themselves in your body I compare them to a breeze that blows between two open windows and
This is an enormous process of urbanization, and something similar is going to happen in India. To domesticate ourselves, to domesticate our pets, what we have to do is we have to take species, animals, that normally don't live together, de-wild them, teach them to live with those that are traditionally not their friends, and teach them a series of rules.
The problem is, when she moves the one-week-old developing embryos from one uterus to another, she knows who is who. The domesticated foxes are chunkier and lower to the ground than wild foxes are.
These are domesticated animals. And domesticated animals are a huge step for humans. This is a very exciting meals on hooves.
space and then put things on the on the on the cube in various places so in this after domesticated words we get coined words the word meme is a good example
led to the need for more intensive production, and then ultimately to the domestication of wheat, and of course, sheep, and goat, and the full range of domesticates that we know come from the Middle East during the Neolithic. Just to point out, there are a number of other sites, as I've just shown you, but just to show how widespread they
It's probably the oldest domesticated creature on the planet. We domesticated it long before we domesticated any other kind of animal. Because making drinks was a high priority early on.
These two human populations, which were essentially genetically identical, both had access to wild species of plants and animals that they could domesticate and invent agriculture, and start on two independent experiments in civilization, completely out of contact with each other. And it was only thousands of years later when Europeans started applying technology of sails and ships to cross the Atlantic, first with Columbus,
The Chinese silk moth is an amazing story because it is the world's only domesticated insect. And it was domesticated and bred somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago by Neolithic farmers in China because its ancestor had very beautiful, very fine, very white silk.
But also because there was a silk industry in Germany, and I think her uncle was involved in that. So these domesticated silk moths became really important to science because they were so docile. They were a great model for experimentation and research.
But the interesting thing is that your birds are essentially flying dinosaurs. And then they were domesticated in different parts of the world. The jungle fowl was domesticated in India in what is today India in the subcontinent maybe about 10,000 years or so ago.
And then they were domesticated in different parts of the world. The jungle fowl was domesticated in India in what is today India in the subcontinent maybe about 10,000 years or so ago. And essentially, domestication is actually quite a fascinating The wild jungle fowl lays about one egg a month.

They tend to have all sorts of variation in their coat color, and they also typically have much longer reproductive seasons than their wild ancestors. Not every domesticated animal has every one of those characteristics, but most have many of those characteristics, so much so that that whole thing-- the floppy ears, the curly tails, the low stress hormone-- all that is referred to today as the domestication syndrome.
Some, like horses, we domesticated for transportation. Others we domesticated as food sources. And yet others, like dogs, we domesticated for some combination of protection and companionship.
are towards humans or aggressive they are towards humans, so it's a nice control. When they compare the domesticated foxes to the control, they also find that the domesticated foxes had about 50% lower stress hormone levels. And they were also beginning to see all sorts of other things appear in their foxes by this time.
The problem is, when she moves the one-week-old developing embryos from one uterus to another, she knows who is who. of her domesticated foxes.
So these monuments weren't representing the burials of the whole community. They were domesticated plants and animals, and breeding them, and so on, and it's that that leads directly to our modern genetics and so on.
And they were held there and managed there in order to feed humans. These are domesticated animals. And domesticated animals are a huge step for humans.
The person is not able to form sentences. And this domesticated monkey steps back, copies the response.

And one of the most fascinating things about this focus on wild bulls is this at this time at Catalhoyuk, the cattle are not domesticated . But in the later levels, they are domesticated . And so it seems that one can argue again that initially, people are interested in animals for ritual or social symbolic reasons,
Changing your food, changing your microbes, your environment, your population. If you become domesticated , if you change your labor or exercise regime you can have changes. And the key question here is, how many of these factors do you suppose have changed for human beings in the last century or two?
The Scythians, or their ancestors-- the ancestors of the Scythians-- were the first people to ride horses. First they domesticated it, then they learned to ride them. Horses provided food, drink, clothing, agility in battle, speed, and endurance over vast distances.
But not koji. Koji has all the genes that do all that stuff, but they're all turned off. It's domesticated , it's another tame fungus. We tamed it to do one thing-- make rice sugary so yeast can eat it.

You could use it to domesticate species we had not previously been able to domesticate or enhance the control of species we have domesticated .
and whether or not we should domesticate science for this, and specifically volcano, or whether or not we shouldn't do it.
We do not consider this rational, reasonable behavior here or anywhere. So as we go out and we domesticate ourselves, part of what we're seeing is we're seeing this collapse in violence. And this collapse in violence is happening almost everywhere.
We don't have to domesticate wildebeest into something that will live in a barn and get milked.
It's we it's domesticated .
But, yeah, I got to this museum, and there were samples of moths from everywhere from Greece to Iraq, Albania, Madagascar, Turkey, Mozambique. And none of these were domesticated , as the Chinese silk moth had been. It's still an amazing story.
have been building it for you-- the perfect dog-- except, as you might guess from the title of today's talk, it's not a dog at all. It's a fox-- a domesticated fox. They built this in the minus-40-degree winters of Siberia, but more importantly, they built it in the blink of an eye in terms of evolutionary
outside of Moscow. And while he was there, he studied genetics, and because it was an agricultural academy, he had all sorts of interactions with domesticated species. When he graduated Ivanova, like every Soviet male of that era, he went and fought in World War II for four years.
And one of those "something importants," one of those major things was this little guy right here-- Mechta, or Dream. Dream was the first of the domesticated foxes to have droopy, floppy ears. So here's the deal about foxes and their ears.
uncommon-- this strange star-shaped, white pattern on the forehead. It's not uncommon in domesticated species. Now it's in the domesticated foxes, and so on-- many, many more changes by this time.
It's not uncommon in domesticated species. Now it's in the domesticated foxes, and so on-- many, many more changes by this time. So at this point, they decide that they're going to expand the experiment even further.
So at this point, they decide that they're going to expand the experiment even further. So they've got this line-- the domesticated line-- where they choose the 10% that are friendliest. They have a control line, where they choose them regardless of how they behave towards humans.
