Abstract

The domestication of animals has been a pivotal change in the history of humanity and contributed to its geographic expansion, socioeconomic complexity and cultural diversity. It has, thus, rightly been a diachronic focus of archaeological research. In recent years, however, there have been significant advances in our knowledge of animal domestication, with many long-standing unknowns resolved and new ones perceived. This entry reviews the story of the origins of the coevolutionary relationship between humans and animals and tracks the general course of subsequent developments. A large variety of animal species is considered and the similarities and differences between different parts of the world are highlighted and discussed with a look into the future.
