Explanation

• Humans knew from as early as 8000-1000 B.C. that one of the causes of variation was hidden in sexual reproduction.
• They exploited the variations that were naturally present in the wild populations of plants and animals to selectively breed and select for organisms that possessed desirable characters.
• For example, through artificial selection and domestication from ancestral wild cows, we have well known Indian breeds. e.g.: Sahiwal cows in Punjab.
