Questions

1. Do plants train animals to behave in certain ways to benefit the plant?

2. "We automatically think of domestication as something we do to other species, but it makes just as much sense to think of it as something certain plants and animals have done to us, a clever evolutionary strategy for advancing their own interests." (pg xvi of Botany of Desire).

3. Is domestication a form of co-evolution between humans and the organism they are domesticating?

4. What benefits do plants get by being domesticated?

5. What benefits do animals get by being domesticated?

6. How has our relationship with domesticated animals or plants changed humans?

7. Co-evolution typically refers to a relationship between 2 organisms, but the lactose case study called it a "gene-culture coevolution". What does this mean to you?

8. We as humans often consider ourselves to be separate from nature. Many of the interactions that we studied in the community ecology lecture are ones that we think other animals do, but not ourselves. Are humans still a part of the natural community or does our culture, intelligence or other characteristics now separate us so that we no longer have the same interactions?

9. Any other questions or ideas prompted by your reading of the "Botany of Desire" introduction, or from class materials like the lactose case study, chili or caffeine videos, etc.
