The book explores the changes that occur in domesticated animals and plants under human influence, providing insights into the principles of variation, selection, and inheritance that underlie these transformations. The opening of the work sets the stage for Darwin's exploration by outlining the objectives and scope of the study. He notes that his focus will not be on cataloging all domesticated species but rather on presenting facts that illustrate the nature and extent of the changes these organisms undergo under domestication. In particular, Darwin intends to conduct a thorough examination of domestic dogs and cats, using specific case studies to underpin broader conclusions about variation and selection in domesticated species. The introduction emphasizes the importance of understanding both the direct effects of human interaction and the inherent variability among organisms, hinting at the complex relationship between humans and the natural world.
