Part of the passage Par C]:

When people domesticate animals, they control their
behavior in many ways. For example, animals that are being domesticated nob iiblonger choose their own mates. Instead, people control their breeding. Individuals
with traits that humans prefer are more likely to produce offspring and pass on
their genes. In the course of several generations, both the body and behavior of
the animal are transformed.
In the wild, animals that are well adapted to their environ-
ment livelong and reproduce, while others die young. In this way, nature chooses the
traits that are passed onto the next generation. This is the process of evolution by nat-
ural selection.
Domestic animals also evolve, but people do the selecting. Humans
seek out qualities like tameness, and help animals with those traits to survive and
bear young. This is evolution by artificial selection.
Most domestic animals are natu-
rally social. Their wild ancestors lived in groups, with individuals responding to each oth-
er – some led, others followed.
In domestic animals, the tendency to submit to others
is especially strong. Generations of breeding have encouraged them to let people
take the lead.
