We continued watching "Guns, Germs, and Steel." We learned about animal domestication. To tame animals to benefit both humans and the animals.Only certain animals can be domesticated. They must be herbivores, large, and social. They have to reproduce regularly, and they have to get along with humans. There are 14 animals that are successfully domesticated by humans. Goats, sheep, pigs, cows, bali cattle, horses, donkeys, bactrian camels, arabian camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, yaks, and mithans. At least one of these animals were in many different countries, however, in Papua New Guinea, there were none of the listed animals there. Again, this is where the geographical luck comes in. They were very unlucky, not have very little plants, but also no animals that are able to be domesticated. Some of the uses of domesticating animals is to get their milk, use them for clothes, and to do labor chores such as pulling a plow.
