Sheep Domestication

Sheep Domestication is a biological and archaeological construct referring to the historical process by which wild ovine populations were selectively bred and managed by humans for enhanced wool, meat, and milk production, distinguishing it from the domestication of other livestock through its specific genetic, behavioral, and morphological transformations under human control.
