Focusing on the impact of domestication, this work by Darwin explores how various species of animals and plants have changed under human influence. It presents observations and facts about domestic animals like dogs, cats, horses, and various birds, as well as cultivated plants including cereals, fruits, and ornamental species. The text delves into concepts of variation, reproduction, and inheritance, providing insights into the principles guiding these transformations. This is the first part of a two-volume set that emphasizes the relationship between humans and domesticated species.
