Animal Domestication

Today we watched more of the germs, guns, and steel movie. Animals gave people access to meat, milk, and hair and skin to make coats. Goat and sheep were the first animals to be domesticated. People made plows that made farming easier and they had horses or animals like horses pull them. The only animal that New Guinea has are pigs but they aren't that useful. The best animals to domesticate are large plat-eating animals. The 14 domesticated animals are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, bactrian camels, Arabian camels, water buffalos, llamas, reindeer, yaks, mithuns, and baldy camels. Then we saw the Fertile Crescent where civilization began. The people there were geographically blessed. That's all for today.
