The domestic turkey is a large poultry used in human food, mainly for its meat, and much less for its eggs. It was introduced like domestic bird in almost all the world. The highest demand for turkey meat occurs in Spanish-speaking countries by the date of Christmas, while in English-speaking countries for thanks giving.
The domestic turkey is the result of prolonged interaction in conjunction with artificial selection by the human being for 2000 years. The process of domestication took place around the beginning of the first millennium of our era, and was the work of the indigenous peoples of the central regions of Mexico.
Very interesting. I wish humans didn’t still eat them though (I am vegan!)
Interesting, informative post
2000 years, that’s a long time. It’s amazing how much the wild turkeys and the ones we eat today differ.
And it succeeds with many things, if you see the history of the tomato, it will surprise you, so that later trasgenics talk, man has been in charge of transforming its environment for thousands of years
True, but not at the mad scientist level of today, like Monsanto does.
Speaking of tomatoes, have you seen how many variety of tomatoes we have today? 🙂
Genetic research is a very compromised line. On the other hand there are many varieties, often thanks to the hands of our avid farmers.
Awesome details though I don’t eat turkey. 🙂
