The dog was the first animal to be domesticated.
The practice of bringing wild plants and animals under human control for food. The dog was the first creature that man domesticated. Although there is no exact date, it is believed that it began between 13,000 and 30,000 years ago. The following species that were presumably domesticated were sheep and goats. Chickens have domesticated in Southeast Asia as well around 10,000 years ago. Later, people domesticated large animals like oxen or horses for use in transportation and ploughing. Long-term bidirectional gene flow between wild and domestic stocks, including donkeys, horses, New and Old World camelids, goats, sheep, and pigs, is likely to have been prevalent, according to archaeological and molecular evidence.
