Then, gradually, we began to tame the plants and animals all around us--and ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Combining genetics, archaeology, evolutionary biology, and anthropology, Tamed tells the story of the greatest revolution in human history, revealing the fascinating origins of crucial domesticated species and how they, in turn, transformed us. Dogs, our first natural ally, aided Ice Age-era hunters and gatherers. Domesticated horses led to new ideas about hunting and combat in the Eurasian Steppe. The reliability of wheat and corn allowed humans to settle down and build civilizations of unprecedented complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As she uncovers the astounding global implications of domestication, Alice Roberts urges us to look again at our relationship with the natural world--and our incredible influence upon it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978177446189,"sku":"9798893030488","price":20.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/v02WSW-rs09798893030488.webp?v=1775800853","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/tamed-from-wild-to-domesticated-the-ten-animals-and-plants-that-changed-human-history-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
