In the history of agriculture we learn where domesticated farm animals originated and when. However, how did the domestication process took place? What publications are available to learn more about this topic?
It's true that domestication was introduced by man and the history indicated that Dog was the first domesticated animals ... therefore let's have a research on this to have more information.
Dear @Bruno Borsari Domestication refers to carrying of a wild species under human management. Human directed selection and preferential assortative mating leads to substantial changes in the dometicates. The dog has been the first animal to be domesticated by human beings presumably 15000 years before present (YBP). This was followed by domestications of sheep, goats, cattle and pigs around 8000 YBP.

Although new technology involving mitochondrial DNA has allowed researchers to estimate when animals were first domesticated, there remains some doubt about the precise dating of a timeline. Scientists believe the dog was the first animal to be domesticated, though some believe it may even have been earlier. Since then, numerous animals including horses, pigs, and even honeybees have been domesticated for human purposes like farming and companionship, among others. Despite that domesticated animals have brought humans invaluable advantages throughout history, they have not come without a price. One of the main disadvantages of animal domestication has been an increase in the number of diseases from contact with animals. Animal domestication has allowed the human population to increase and create densely populated areas, but at the same time has allowed for the transmission of pathogens from the animals' pathogens which otherwise may have remained isolated.
