Abstract excerpt
Human preferences can shape the genetic evolution of other species via conservation practices, public health actions, and domestication. While the dynamics of domestication have been explored in depth through empirical and theoretical analyses, few studies have analyzed models for the coevolution of human cultural preferences with the genetics of a domesticate population. Humans shape the fitness landscape of...
