How did domestication syndrome become so widely accepted? Largely bc of the Russian Farm-Fox project. Starting with “wild” foxes, and selecting on tameness, scientists reported producing foxes with a suite of domestication syndrome characteristics in a surprisingly short time.

Domestication is a fascinating subject - not the least in that it takes a certain type of human to invest time and patience at close quarters with living creatures, while resisting the immediate gratification of simply killing and eating them.https://kirkmaxey.com/2015/04/21/lineage-enders/ …

I would rephrase as “a certain type of animal choosing to live in proximity to humans despite the risk of being killed and eaten.” I think human intent has minimal role in animal domestication.

This is a long shot, but reading your thread I keep thinking about what we do with microbes in a lab. In a way, it is the same thing! We impose a condition for them to live, so they adapt by changing their behavior and phenotype. At the end they are working for us!
