Domestication - domestication

Japanese: 家畜化 - かちくか(英語表記)domestication
Domestication - domestication
Domestication is the process by which humans control the reproduction of animals and strengthen that control. The English term domestication is also used to refer to plants, in which case it is translated as "cultivation" or "crop-ification." From the above definition, domestication can be said to be the process by which the natural selection imposed on animals is replaced by artificial selection, and it can also be described as the process by which animals, which were merely resources provided by nature, are transformed into capital whose reproduction can be artificially controlled.

Japanese:
家畜化とはヒトが動物の生殖を管理し,管理を強化していく過程をいう。英語domesticationは植物に対しても用いられ,その場合には栽培化あるいは作物化という訳語が与えられる。上の定義から,家畜化とは動物に加えられる自然淘汰が人為淘汰に置き換えられていく過程であるともいえるし,また自然から与えられるものとしての資源でしかなかった動物が,再生産を人為的にコントロールできる資本へと変化する過程であると表現することもできる。
