The domestication of animals has had a huge impact on human history. But have you ever wondered why we've only been able to domesticate some animals and not others?
In this video we look at the six reasons why some animals have never successfully been domesticated, as outlined in the book 'Guns, Germs & Steel' by Jared Diamond. We then look at a Russian experiment which attempted to domesticate silver foxes, to understand how domestication can change an animal.
