Budiansky, author of one of my favorite books, Covenant of the Wild,

describes how domestic animals formed a pact with humans in which the animals

traded a period of safety and survival for their lives. Had this covenant not

been made, it is highly likely – virtually a certainty – that cows would now be

extinct. Big, slow, stupid and tasty, had they not been amenable to

domestication and entered into the covenant with their domesticators, cattle

would have been hunted to extinction long, long ago. But they did – however

unwillingly – make the covenant and so exist by the tens of millions today. The

deal they cut was a phenomenal deal for cattle as a species, but not a

particularly good deal for the individual cow when the time comes to pay up at

slaughter.

Homo sapiens entered an almost mirror image of this same covenant when they

domesticated cereal grasses.* We gave up our independence and mobility for the

promise of a constant and plentiful food supply. But, as with our covenant with

domestic animals, there is a catch. And this time it's with us. Humans emerged

from this deal with the short end of the stick. In the same way as did cattle,

we made a good-for-humans-as-a-species/bad-for-the-individual-human trade. Like

it or not, we traded the health of the individual human for the overall good of

mankind and the development of civilization.
