DOMESTICATES Meaning and Definition

1. The term "domesticates" is a verb that refers to the process of taming, training, or adapting an animal or plant species to live and thrive in a human-controlled environment. This practice is commonly pursued by humans to facilitate their needs for transportation, companionship, food, or other purposes. Domestication involves transforming wild or untamed organisms into ones that display specific characteristics desired by humans, such as increased docility, productivity, or utility.

The domestication of animals has enabled humans to cultivate crops efficiently, use animals for labor or transportation, and establish symbiotic relationships based on companionship. It has contributed to the development of settled communities and the emergence of agricultural societies, thus shaping human history and transforming cultures across the globe.
