I feel like dogs were such an incredible find for domestication. In today's world where dogs are mostly kept just for fun, it's easy for people to forget what they really have to offer- not food or transportation but a dedicated workforce capable of performing complex jobs day-in, day-out, and happily. Watching border collies herd sheep will never not be impressive to me. And even today there are dogs doing vital work in our societies- aiding police and providing medical assistance.

cats are cool too. cats bring you food and other stuff they hunt. for ex, you may notice that cats who hunt birds or mice or even rabbits, will occasionally leave it on your shoes or something. also, cats are excellent at keeping pests away, thus making the house hold more hygienic. agricultural societies in general love cats, because cats keep rodents away from their crops.

The zebra/horse contrast is especially interesting if you also talk about the other domesticated equine. Asses generally don't fit the "family friendly" or "friendly" categories - they are usually solitary and they're notorious for being stubborn, especially when feral - yet domesticated asses, aka donkeys, still happened.

Turns out there are lots of animals that you *could* domesticate if for some strange reason you wanted to spend the decades doing it. But they never were domesticated or were not until very recently. Belyayev's foxes for example. The process from Wild Fox -> Domesticated Silver Fox took about 20 or so generations. Easily doable in one persons lifetime. History picked Grey Wolves instead.

@user-pakshibhithi10

Foxes are domesticated in the 20th century. It's a time when we had enough technology and resources to capture any kind of animal. When we were hunter-gatherers, we didn't have the technology to trap any significant number of fast-moving animals which we cannot outrun. Also, wolves weren't trapped by humans and tamed, they too just happened to follow us like cats, but, because they were social animals, they trusted us more and were eventually domesticated, foxes aren't as brave as wolves to follow humans, and they also aren't as social as wolves to be domesticated by Hunter-gatherers. With today's technology, we can even domesticate Tigers and Lions, we just need to take some Tigers or Lions from Zoo, make them socialise with humans from an early age and make the friendlier Tigers breed with eachother and do that for a couple hundred years. You'll have Domestic Tigers and Lions. Although, I think Lions would become domesticated before Tigers, simply because of their social nature. We cannot expect Hunter-gatherers to be able to do the same things.

And cats are basically solitary animals. They don't live in herds. If one accepts you as a partner, it is because it was the cat's decision, not yours. They also decide when to play, and when to call it off. Some people like them better than dogs because of cats' independent nature.

There is a species of frog called a Microhylid that's developed a symbiotic relationship with multiple large Spider species. These frogs are small enough that they would make a very easy meal for the Spider, but they live in close quarters with each other with the Spider essentially acting like the Frog's bodyguard. Why? Because most of the Frog's natural predators won't mess with the Spider and will stay clear... and the frog eats ants which are a natural predator of spider eggs. They have a symbiotic relationship. The Spider will tolerate and even defend the frog instead of eating it, and the frog earns its keep by 'protecting' the spider's eggs. Depending on what way you look at it, either the frog has a pet spider that it's domesticated and trained to protect it...or the Spider has a pet frog that it's domesticated and trained to protect its eggs. Why am I telling you this? Because that's basically our relationship with cats. We didn't domesticate cats. We basically domesticated each other. The cats realized that life was way easier where the humans were... and we benefited from letting them stick around. They got free food and shelter and we got an animal that hunted and killed vermin.

It should be noted that cats do have a sort of family structure; they form communities and colonies and take care of each-other but they don't *hunt* together is a big part of what sets them apart from dogs which, ironically, actually makes them more suitable for domesticated then dogs; they hunt small animals, pests, which humans don't eat, as opposed to dogs which hunt and eat large animals together, which makes them feedable.

Wild horse herd dynamics are as follows: the dominant stallion is not the herd leader, he brings up the rear and fights off predators and fends off challenges from subdominant stallions. The herd leader is the dominant mare who decides where to go and when. She also establishes the social pecking order. This may not be a crucial point for the video but I enjoy imparting accurate information

That's actually an overrated myth. Some wild herds may not have a lead mare, but they will always have a dominant stallion who is in charge and yes, he does bring up the rear and protects the herd, but the lead mare (that is, if they have one) cannot do anything without the consent of the herd stallion. The band can exist without the lead mare, yet they cannot survive without a lead stallion. This is a crucial thing to remember about wild horse herds. The lead stallion is the heart that holds the entire band together, without him, they will scatter and be stolen by other rogue bachelor studs. And people that claim that the herd stallion is the "leader" are absolutely correct. Just speak to any wild horse expert, Mustang enthusiast and photographer. Their dynamics are incredibly fascinating, but I have yet to see a herd without a lead stallion (not including the bachelor herds) and yet there are plenty of wild herds without a lead mare. Lead mare either exists, doesn't or three/four mares share those responsibilities among each other. Lead stallion however, is indispensable and a vital part of the herd survival.

Zebras WERE successfully domesticated by virtually every European country that colonized Africa. They discarded it because the Zebra was not as efficient as the horse, not because it wasn't possible. So that fact kind of blows Grey's theory apart. But if you domesticated Zebras over centuries, the result would be similar to that of any other equine species. The reason this didn't happen in Subsahara Africa is the same reason Europeans and Asians (who also visited Africa centuries ago) never found ANY domesticated animals in Africa; the people who inhabited the region. Subsaharan Africans didn't have the necessary civilization and intelligence to domesticate animals. Look, people have been making excuses for why Africans (and Latin Americans) failed to develop institutions indicative of higher civilization; it boils down to political correctness. But the bottom line is that you can literally domesticate ANY animal (including a human) if you're motivated enough and have the intelligence. The European colonists in SS Africa, for a time, had both the motivation and the intelligence, so they started domesticating the abundant Zebra - before modern transportation allowed them to import and start breeding large numbers of horses and work animals which were stronger, faster, and saved them the work of having to breed generations of Zebra over centuries. The Africans? The Zebra, water buffalo, Jackal (dog), Okapi, Warthog, etc were excellent "raw material" to mold if a civilized (settled) culture could make use of them, and would look very different today if a more intelligent civilization (and people) inhabited the region over millenia (similarly, the "indigenous wild animals" in Europe and Asia would look VERY different today if those regions were originally inhabited by black or brown people. It wasn't for lack of opportunity or potential benefit that black and brown people didn't domesticate ANY animals - it was for lack of the ability to do so.
@Terrekain
@Terrekain 5 лет назад
Grey is a smart guy for the most part, but even he can slip into political correctness, if inadvertently. For one thing, he makes the argument that horses and dogs have a hierarchical structure and thinks this is an "accident". Ummm...no. If they didn't have a controllable or social structure to benefit humans, they'd have been hunted (or slaughtered) into extinction like many other horse and dog breeds in the rest of the civilized world. Literally every farmer and breeder in the world understands that they can control the temperament, social structure, intelligence, etc. of their animals. From shepherd dogs to human parents. A good father, for example, will foster a child and provide incentives and punishments which will motivate (if not coerce) his child to mate with a partner of desired qualities (intelligence, beauty, productivity, etc). There have been beekeepers who've experimented with breeding hives of "laying workers" - which became destructive and unproductive (as expected). What did they do with these dysfunctional hives? They killed them (not that they would have survived long anyway, but better to not let the drones spread bad genetics).

The 4 factors are also widely theorized why some societies (such as the aborigine ones of Australia) remained largerly hunter gatherer ones until their discovery due to the lack decent domestication options in native fauna. The Victorians often equated civilization as equalling intelligence, but the development of settled societies after the last Ice Age ended were actually more down to pot luck factors such as local geography, climate and local fauna/flora options available than anything else.

Cats are a rather interesting example actually, as they weren't something we purposefully domesticated. The domestication pathway for cats was one whereby cats noticed there were a metric sh*tload of rodents where these bipedal apes lived (not to mention the lack of predators in urban settlements). They then would move in, but due to the limited space, the cats that couldn't tolerate other cats wouldn't survive particularly long. By adapting social behaviour from kitten hood (wild cats are only social as kittens, thus things such as miaowing and kneading became social behaviours in adulthood), they where able to become a social species, that could live in dense cooperative colonies (interesting side note: Cats social behaviour's are rather flexible, with cats living in urban regions tending to be more territorial vis a vis other cats (like they're wild ancestors), whilst rural cats will share a core territory, even working together in that core territory (defence, care of young...), whilst keeping separate hunting grounds) and tolerate humans. And the humans, noticing these tiny tigers made the pest problems go away, would tolerate, even take care of the tiny tigers, leading to a more mutualistic relationship between the two (further side note; due to cats only being semi domesticated, and the social flexibility mentioned above, cats are perfectly comfortable switching between living with humans and wild lifestyles).

There is one misconception about domestication and breeding: Most people don't go "oh, this animal has great genes, I will breed it with that animal over there." Most breeding that happens isn't selecting animals with desirable traits but rather culling animals with undesirable traits. When winter comes and you decide, which part of your herd to butcher, you obviously choose to get rid of the problem animals rather than the well-behaved, healthy ones. And that's usually the biggest player in livestock genetics.

That and breeding control. Most domestic herds only have a handful of males who we adore to breed, and the rest are castrated. To the point where the English language actually has three separate words for pretty much every kind of barnyard animal, a word for the male, a word for the female, and a word for castrated males. Stallion, mare, gelding Bull, cow, ox Boar, sow, barrow Billy, nanny, wether Ram, ewe, wether Rooster, hen, (it's impossible to castrate a rooster)

@vnleao
@vnleao 6 лет назад
The dog hierarchy actually doesn't depend on "alphas" though that term is used prolifically. The term was originally coined by a dude who turned around and realized he was wrong and tried to correct the concept he originally shared, but people were already crazy over the idea of "alpha wolves" and such and didn't listen. Canine hierarchies are more so FAMILY hierarchies. So to be the "alpha dog" means you take the role of the parent dog. You are the one providing food and protection and positive attention. Even better than being an "alpha," you get to have your dog literally seeing you as mommy/daddy. Cats on the other hand don't keep a social structure based on families in that way. Mother cats will actively kick out their kittens once they reach a certain age and will even move to a new territory if the kittens don't go far enough away. They will be social with one another in more of a friendship sense, which is why you will sometimes see whole groups of feral cats in certain areas, and why cats can have good relationships with humans. But, like with human friendships, cats do CHOOSE and trust must be developed. You can't just go to any random person and say "you're my new best friend" and have them be cool with it. Same with cats. It takes time and consistent positive interactions. Eventually after acceptance, cats WILL care about your well being and (if young enough) will create their own language customized to what YOU respond best to. Cats learn different ways to meow and such based on their humans and what they respond to, so your cat does in fact care and pay attention. They will also reciprocate with food offerings and affection, however the relationship continues to be a bond of mutual respect and trust (which can be broken.) A dog sees their bond with a human as being more of a necessity that can't be abandoned just because of maltreatment (seen in dogs who don't run away from clearly abusive situations) in the same way that packs (family units) are maintained generation after generation and are the life source for canines. They have been able to prove that both cats and dogs can and do love their humans (to whatever extent is most true for them) and form deep attachments, however they way they relate to us is quite different. So when your cat treats you as a stupid cat, know that they do it with love because they chose you to be THEIR stupid cat. And know that when your dog treats you as the parent, they do it with love and choose to place their future in your hands.

Isn’t it a bit presumptuous to assume that horses were never less tame than the current modern version of itself? With several millennia of domestication, zebra may have behavior similar to a horse.

@@henk-3098 actually they can see humans as part of the pack but what I was really getting at is more often than not the dog is the pack leader and not the human. I see it in horses too. They walk all over their owners but I will not allow horses to push on me and I keep the fact that horses are stronger than me a closely guarded secret.

Have you ever heard the story of the three legged pig? One day a man drove by a farm and saw a three-legged pig. The man went up to the farmer and said, "Excuse me, but why does that pig only have 3 legs?" "Well," said the farmer, "that pig is very special. One time my wife was cooking something she stepped out of the kitchen and it caught on fire. No one in the house knew about it but the pig, and he saved me, my wife, and my 2 kids." "That's amazing!" said the man, but why does the pig only have three legs?" "Well, there was that time the pig saw a big storm coming and we didn't. The pig ran into the house and dragged us out to the storm cellar. If it weren't for that pig we would all be dead." "But still, that doesn't explain why the pig only has 3 legs." "And I remember the time my youngest son was stuck up a tree, but I was too far away to hear his cries for help. The pig ran to me and led me to where he was." "Well, that is a miracle, but how come that pig only has 3 legs?" the man said quite annoyed at this point. "Well," said the farmer, "with a pig that special... you have to eat 'em real slow."

because it's for smooth brains. The ancestor of the cow, the auroch was the size of a buffalo and more aggressive. The ancestor of the modern day horse looked and acted different from what we have today. Thousands of years of selective breeding will do that. It's uneducated excuse making for nationalities who didn't discover animal husbandry.
