Animal Husbandry: Understanding Our Animal Friends Better (History of Indian Science and Technology Infinity Foundation Series)

Humans have very interesting relations with animals.

The interaction moved from predator-prey to a balanced association of co-existence over approximately the last ten thousand years.
