Cleanup/essay
Just two issues that are not according to WP:MOS: use of capitals (mainly in the headers) and the placement of references before final periods. There may be more.

As for essay-like, this essay includes a lot of stuff that has not really anything to do directly with the genetics of domestication. Things like coding/non -coding DNA belong in other articles (and are, indeed, being treated there) and should just be wikilinked, not explained all over again. Similarly, "domesticated species and human history" has nothing whatsoever to do with what this article is supposed to be about. Remember, you're not writing a term paper or a book chapter for some edited book, but a lemma for an encyclopedia. Hope this helps. --Guillaume233 (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Gosh, 12 years and no action taken on this helpful comment. I've removed the "Domesticated species and human history" chapter and other materials as off-topic; and more as pure editorialising. The rest of the article is rambling, essay-like and unfocused; it's also poorly-cited and 12 years on also seriously out of date. I think we should remove all the uncited waffle about how advantageous it all is/could one day be, and merge the rest to a short paragraph in Domestication.
