Abstract

We propose that domestication is the result of interspecies cooperative breeding. Considering domestication as an outcome of cooperative breeding can explain how domestication occurs in both plants and animals, encompass cases of domestication that do not involve humans, and shed light on why humans are involved in so many domesticatory relationships. We review the cooperative breeding model of human evolution, which posits that care of human infants by alloparents enabled the evolution of costly human brains and long juvenile development, while selecting for tolerance of strangers. We then explore how human cooperation in the protection and provisioning of young plants and animals can explain the evolution of domestication traits such as changes in development; loss of aggressive, defensive, and bet-hedging aspects of the phenotype; and increased fertility. We argue that the importance of cooperative breeding to human societies has made humans especially likely to enter into interspecies cooperative breeding relationships.

驯化是种间合作繁殖的进化。
我们提出,驯化是种间合作繁殖的结果。将驯化视为合作繁殖的结果可以解释驯化是如何在植物和动物中发生的,包括不涉及人类的驯化案例,并揭示为什么人类参与了如此多的驯化关系。我们回顾了人类进化的合作育种模式,该模式认为,异父异母对人类婴儿的照顾促成了人类大脑的进化和漫长的幼年发育,同时也选择了对陌生人的容忍。然后,我们探讨了人类在保护和供养幼年动植物方面的合作如何解释驯化特征的进化,如发育的变化;表型中攻击性、防御性和对赌性的丧失;以及生育率的提高。我们认为,合作繁育对人类社会的重要性使得人类特别有可能建立种间合作繁育关系。

期刊介绍: Evolutionary Anthropology is an authoritative review journal that focuses on issues of current interest in biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, archaeology, functional morphology, social biology, and bone biology — including dentition and osteology — as well as human biology, genetics, and ecology. In addition to lively, well-illustrated articles reviewing contemporary research efforts, this journal also publishes general news of relevant developments in the scientific, social, or political arenas. Reviews of noteworthy new books are also included, as are letters to the editor and listings of various conferences. The journal provides a valuable source of current information for classroom teaching and research activities in evolutionary anthropology.
