«The Covenant of the Wild: Why Animals Chose Domestication» is the essay by Stephen Budiansky, published by William Morrow & Co in hardcover.
Stephen Budiansky argues that domestication was a successful evolutionary strategy, not an act of exploitation: many species increased their chances of survival by associating with humans. The book examines this alliance from natural history and evolution, and offers an alternative view of domestication.
The book was originally published in 1992 and is written in English; the volume includes bibliographic references (pages 173-180) and an index.
For readers interested in natural history, evolution, and the philosophy of the human-animal bond.
Stephen Budiansky is an American writer, historian and biographer, best known for his books on animal behaviour and his criticism of animal rights. He is also the author of a number of scholarly publications about the history of cryptography, military and intelligence history, and music.
