摘要

The domestication of animal species has led to complex relations with humans entailing profound transformations, especially at the behavioural level. It is a rather difficult task to answer the question of whether the wild ancestors of a given domestic form were in some way preadapted to domestication. Contrary to general belief, Felis sylvestris, from which the domestic cat was derived, displays no more predispositions than several other felids. On the other hand, wolves and humans show a conspicuous parallelism in a many behavioural features, each species being able to understand many signals emitted by the other, in such a way that it has been suggested that excellent models could be found among social carnivores for studies on the origins and evolution of human sociability. Concerning goats and sheep, they are likely to have readily accepted human housing because they previously used to shelter in caves. The effects of domestication on behaviour are diverse. Some traits are only slightly (or even not at all) modified, such as those involved in defence in horses or in maternal care in pigs. On the whole, the behaviour is less sophisticated in domestic animals than in their wild relatives, owing to decrease of environmental complexity and selection against aggres-sivity. Neoteny, i e. conservation of juvenile characters in the sexually mature condition, is common in domestic forms, as exemplified by dogs. It seems to be a by-product of selection for submission and non-aggressivity. This assumption is supported by a long-term experiment on fox : artificial selection readily resulted in a substantial decrease of aggressivity together with the emergence of some dog-like neotenic behavioural traits. Among the non-genetic consequences of domestication, overcrowding can exacerbate fear reactions and social stress in breeds, with subsequent detrimental effects on productivity. These disavantages might be avoided in the future by improving breeding methods and selecting for resistance to stress.
