In this chapter, we examine the information that has been gathered over the last 60 years on the onset and process of management and domestication of the wild turkey (M. gallopavo) in Mexico, from both the paleontological and the archaeological contexts. The main aim is to describe the management and domestication of M. gallopavo, a bird native to North America, by exploring the natural history patterns and outcomes of both processes. This species has been domesticated primarily in present-day Mexico and the Greater Southwest. Currently, domestic M. gallopavo is distributed worldwide with remarkable phenotypic diversity. Studies of the domestication of M. gallopavo cover many approaches, ranging from taxonomy, systematics, and ecology to genetics and evolutionary patterns. Because of this wide range of topics, this chapter focuses on management through time. To conduct such a review, we considered the concepts and motivations for management and domestication of this specific bird, including patterns, evidence, and outcomes. Data for each period have been recorded and are shown on different maps, suggesting different hypotheses of the species distribution through time. Ultimately, this chapter suggests that the entire process of domestication of M. gallopavo began in the Formative period with the early management of the species.

摘要

In this chapter, we examine the information that has been gathered over the last 60 years on the onset and process of management and domestication of the wild turkey (M. gallopavo) in Mexico, from both the paleontological and the archaeological contexts. The main aim is to describe the management and domestication of M. gallopavo, a bird native to North America, by exploring the natural history patterns and outcomes of both processes. This species has been domesticated primarily in present-day Mexico and the Greater Southwest. Currently, domestic M. gallopavo is distributed worldwide with remarkable phenotypic diversity. Studies of the domestication of M. gallopavo cover many approaches, ranging from taxonomy, systematics, and ecology to genetics and evolutionary patterns. Because of this wide range of topics, this chapter focuses on management through time. To conduct such a review, we considered the concepts and motivations for management and domestication of this specific bird, including patterns, evidence, and outcomes. Data for each period have been recorded and are shown on different maps, suggesting different hypotheses of the species distribution through time. Ultimately, this chapter suggests that the entire process of domestication of M. gallopavo began in the Formative period with the early management of the species.
