The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that the process of domestic breeding and domestication acts as a driver of evolutionary change through artificial selection, altering genomes and phenotypes in species such as dogs, yaks, horses, cattle, and others. There is no contradictory evidence in the retrieved set.
