Question

What does domestication mean? accornig to anthropologist?

Answer 1

It's when wild plants or animals are adopted, and made tame, usually at an early age, so that by the time they mature, they have been sufficiently controlled for a lifetime, that they often don't need to be tethered, and so whatever resources they produce...milk, fruit, meat, free-rides, etc...can be harvested usually without any effort to hunt them...

Answer 2

CONTROL

Answer 3

That sounds more like the definition of taming.  Domestication from the point of view of an anthropologist should involve changing the "wild" form of an animal in a way that benefits humans.  The house cat is tame but many say they aren't technically domesticated.  There is also a common use of the word that just means habituated to living in a home in comfort.
