Editing Domestication (section)

=== On society ===

Scholars have expressed widely differing viewpoints on domestication's effects on society. [[Anarcho-primitivism]] critiques domestication as destroying the supposed primitive state of harmony with nature in hunter-gatherer societies, and replacing it, possibly violently or by enslavement, with a social [[hierarchy]] as property and power emerged.<ref name="Boyden 1992">{{cite journal |last=Boyden |first=Stephen Vickers |title=ES&T Books |journal=Environmental Science & Technology |volume=8 |date=1992 |issue=supplement 173 |page=665 |doi=10.1021/es00028a604 |bibcode=1992EnST...26..665.}}</ref> The [[Dialectical naturalism|dialectal naturalist]] [[Murray Bookchin]] has argued that domestication of animals, in turn, meant the domestication of humanity, both parties being unavoidably altered by their relationship with each other.<ref name="Bookchin">{{cite book |last=Bookchin |first=Murray |title=The Philosophy of Social Ecology |publisher=AK Press |date=2022 |edition=3rd |isbn=9781849354400 |pages=85–87}}</ref> The sociologist [[David Nibert]] asserts that the domestication of animals involved violence against animals and damage to the environment. This, in turn, he argues, corrupted human ethics and paved the way for "conquest, extermination, displacement, repression, coerced and enslaved servitude, gender subordination and sexual exploitation, and hunger."<ref>{{cite book |last=Nibert |first=David |date=2013 |title=Animal Oppression and Human Violence: Domesecration, Capitalism, and Global Conflict |url=http://cup.columbia.edu/book/animal-oppression-and-human-violence/9780231151894 |publisher=[[Columbia University Press]] |pages=1–5 |isbn=9780231151894}}</ref>
