résumé
Everyone knows Darwin's theory of natural selection, but what about his idea of artificial selection - how humans, not nature, rework natural organisms to meet our needs? This volume brings us to the threshold of the new field of evolutionary history - from the mobilization of war horses in the 19th century to today's engineered plants and animals.
