2/2/2011 Guns, Germs & Steel video

     We reviewed what we have watched so far in the Guns, Germs and steel video. Scientists begin to see a transformation between the animals and humans. Besides meat, animals can be used for wool hides and milk. An animal package is mutually beneficial, helps the people in many ways. Raising the goats gives the people a lot of. Now people are banding together and not separately hunting and gathering for their survival. Goats and sheep were the first animals to be domesticated. A horse or an ox could allow farmers to grow more food because they are domesticated animals. The Papuanewquinean’s however do not use plows for farming because they don’t have the right animals with enough strength to pull the plows. All of their farm work was done by hand. Animal domestication is whether or not a human can control and tame a certain animal. There are only 14 species that are domesticated for farming; pigs, goats, sheep, horses, camels, water buffalo, donkeys, other camels, llama’s, reindeer, yaks, cows and  mithans.
