Has anyone done any work on this topic?
It seems to me as though the 'wild forms' of animals tend to have the
dominant characteristics. When a wild boar mates with a pig, the offspring
have more the shape of a wild boar, there is no fattening them up like a
domesticated pig, and so the farmers hate when that happens.
Can we see a general tendency that wild characteristics are dominant and
ones bred in are nore recessive?
