History of Domestication and Agriculture
Paleolithic peoples began to settle and develop
agrarian societies about 10,000 years ago
Early farmers in the Near East cultivated wheat,
barley, and possibly rye
7,000 years ago, pastoralists roamed the Sahara
region of Africa with sheep, goats, cattle, and also
hunted and used grinding stones in food preparation
Early farmers arrived in Egypt 6,000 years ago with
cattle, sheep, goats, and crops such as barley,
emmer, and chick-pea

fermentation
Fermentation:
microbial
process
in
which
enzymatically controlled transformations of organic
compounds occur
Fermentation has been practiced for years and has
resulted in foods such as bread, wine, and beer
9000 B.C. - Drawing of cow being milked Yogurt - 4000
B.C. Chinese Cheese curd from milk - 5000-9000 years
ago

However, concerns have focused on both applications
and ethical implications:
Gene therapy experiments have raised the question
of eugenics (artificial human selection) as well as
testing for diseases currently without a cure
Animal clones have been developed, and fears have
been expressed that this may lead to human cloning
In agriculture, there is concern about gene
containment and the creation of super weeds
(herbicide and/or pesticide resistant weeds)
Today, fears have focused on genetically engineered
foods in the marketplace and has resulted in the
rapid growth of the organic food industry

cloning DNA
Insert the DNA into plasmids
Gene of interest is inserted into small DNA molecules known as
plasmids, which are self-replicating, extrachromosomal genetic
elements originally isolated from the bacterium, Escherichia coli.
The circular plasmid DNA is opened using the same endonuclease
that was used to cleave the genomic DNA.
cloning DNA
Introduce the new vector into host
The new vector is inserted back into a host where many copies of
the genetic sequence are made as the cell grows and divide with
the replicating vector inside.
