Learn the process of selecting desired traits and the potential genetic risks associated with this practice. Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. It is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic characteristics. We have been doing this for thousands of years - ever since we first bred food crops from wild plants, and started domesticating animals about 10,000 years ago. This is when we made the transition from hunter-gatherers to farmers. We no longer needed to wander around to gather food supplies. Agriculture allowed fewer people to provide more food. Regular, predictable food production led to increased populations, and density of people. People now had time to travel, trade and communicate. Settlements began growing; the first villages and then cities were built near fields of domesticated plants. Civilisation was founded upon selective breeding!
