Guns Germs and steel movie part 3

We continued watching the movie in class today. 9,000 years ago people began to domesticate animals. They ate animals for the meat intead of hunting. They had a food source with out moving around. They used milk for protien. They had sheep and goats at first. Then they used other animals like horeses to help grow more crops. Hores pulled plows and allowed more food to be grown.  New Guinnea didn't have animals that are able to pull plows. Best animals to domesticate are large plant eating mammals. Carnivores weren't domesticated because they would have to get other animals to feed the carnivore. Elephants weren't domesticated because it was to big. and ate to much food.  They were tamed individually. Fourteen domesticated animals that are able to be farmed in the history of the world. Some of the animals include goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, 2 kinds of camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, yak, oxen mythons, and another type of cow.
