Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Domestication involved humans selecting certain traits they found desirable in plants and animals, such as increased yield or docility. This deliberate selection for specific traits disrupted the natural selection process, leading to changes in the genetic makeup of the domesticated species that would not have occurred through strictly natural means. This is why it can be called "unnatural selection."
