Alice Roberts has provided a beautifully written book about the domestication of 10 animals and plants that influenced human communities. The latest (at time of writing, 2017) debates and academic findings (in the fields of archaeology, genetics, anthropology, and history) relating to the the evolution (when, where and how) and interaction with humans (past and present) are elucidated for dogs, wheat, cattle, maize, potatoes, chickens, rice, horses, apples and humans. I learned many new things from this book, which made my day. Roberts has a gift for disseminating scientific information in a manner that is interesting and accessible to the non-expert, without simplifying everything too much. Tamed is a fascinating, informative and delightful general introduction to the subject of domestication. I would, quite happily read, another book stuffed with other domesticated animals and plants if Roberts wrote it.
