Evolution has evolved into a booming industry. As humans continue to use technology to reshape for their needs everything from wheat to cows to chickens, the evolution of these organisms is no longer merely a matter of natural selection, but something far more artificial ... and profitable. Bringing us to the threshold of the new field of evolutionary history, Industrializing Organisms explores the implications of mankind's direct intervention into evolutionary dynamics for both convenience and profit -- from the creation of "turbo-cows" and "war horses" in the nineteenth century to the manufacturing of "green gold" and the "chicken of tomorrow" today.
