Domestication is a gradual process, so there is no precise moment in the history of a given species when it can be considered to have become fully domesticated. Zooarchaeology has identified three classes of animal domesticates: Pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, etc.) Livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, etc.)

Since animals were domesticated—roughly 15,000 years ago, in the case of dogs—their lives have become increasingly intertwined with humans', as both could benefit from each other’s company ...
Domestication (not to be confused with the taming of an individual animal [3] [4] [5]), is from the Latin domesticus, 'belonging to the house'.

Molecular phylogenies indicate the most recent common ancestor of all modern equids (members of the genus Equus) lived around 5.6 (3.9–7.8) million years ago (Mya). Direct paleogenomic sequencing of a 700,000-year-old middle Pleistocene horse metapodial bone from Canada implies a more recent 4.07 Mya for the most recent common ancestor within ...
The wild version of the animals are native to the cliffs and mountainsides of Northern Africa, Southern Europe, and the Middle East, and that is where their tangle history with humans begins.
De novo domestication refers to the process by which wild species are intentionally transformed into domesticated varieties. [1] The majority of domesticated species has been under domestication for millenia, with the first animal, the dog, having been under domestication for between 40,000-30,000 years, and the first plants since the start of the Neolithic Revolution, approximately 12,000 ...
