The human domestication projects involves the selection of variety of species or traits that fundamentally alter a species to become more useful or friendly to the human species.

The “great indoors” describes the dynamics of indoor ecologies that are markedly distinct from the outdoors—from unique indoor surface chemistry patterns to changing multispecies inhabitation patterns.
