一、阅读理解

Forcenturies,thecommonviewofhowdomestication（驯化）hadoccurredwasthatprehistoricpeople,realizinghowusefulitwouldbetohaveanimalskeptforfood,begancatchingwildanimalsandbreeding（繁殖）them.Overtime,byallowingonlyanimalswith“tame”（驯养）characteristicstoproducetheirbabies,humanbeingscreatedanimalsthatwerelesswildandmoredependentuponpeople.Eventuallythisprocessledtothedomesticfarmanimalsandpetsthatweknowtoday,havinglosttheirancientsurvivalskillsandnaturalabilities.

Recentresearchsuggeststhatthisviewofdomesticationisincomplete.Prehistorichumanbeingsdidcatchandbreedusefulwildanimals,butspecialistsinanimalbehaviornowthinkthatdomesticationwasnotsimplysomethingpeopledidtoanimals---theanimalsplayedanactivepartintheprocess.Wolvesandwildhorses,forexample,mayhavetakenthefirststepsintheirowndomesticationbyhangingaroundhumansettlements,feedingonpeople’scropsandgettingusedtohumanactivity.Theanimalswhichwerenottoonervousorfearfultolivenearpeopleproducedtheirbabiesthatalsotoleratedhumans,makingiteasierforpeopletocatchandbreedthem.
