The first part of the chapter deals with domestication and describes what is known from archaeological and historical records about the main sites and time points for the domestication of different species. This includes a review of why some species are suitable for human use and amenable to domestication and some are not. Then, more recent developments are examined which led to the formation of the breed structure we observe today. It includes a review of the main principles in breed formation, and how some breeds have become the predominant, through intense selection combined with the use of modern technology. The second part introduces genomic methods that are being used to reveal how selection, population demography and admixtures have intervened in the development of farm animal populations. The last section in this chapter is devoted to the implementation of the knowledge on breed differences with emphasis on using genomic tools for detection and utilisation of QTL information and for assigning individuals and products to breeds.
