ABSTRACT The process of domestication has altered many phenotypes. Selection on these phenotypes long been hypothesised to indirectly select for increases in the genome‐wide recombination rate. This hypothesis is potentially consistent with theory evolution rate, but empirical support unclear. We review relevant theory, lab‐based experiments, and data comparing rates wild progenitors their domesticated counterparts. utilise population sequencing a deep learning method infer new comparisons chicken/red junglefowl, sheep/mouflon, goat/bezoar. find evidence increased goats compared bezoars more mixed results chicken generally decreased sheep mouflon. Our add growing body literature plants animals that finds no an increase domestication.
