Domesticated Animals In Papa New Guinea
The people in Papa New Guinea still used stone tools in the 1960's, when people in the United States had already developed telephones and
spaceships that sent people to the moon. Why were the people in Papa New Guinea so behind? Inequality is very apparent in our world today, but
do you ever wonder why? Or how it started? For everyone to be equal they need to grow and develop at the same pace and in order for that to
happen they need the same good crops, and helpful animals so they can have time and create specialists, they need the same immunities to certain
diseases, they need specialists to create new technology like steel, and all those things depended on where they were located in the world, geography.

Having domesticated animals is a huge advantage for a civilization. Geographic location affects what animals are available in that location. If a
civilization has animals that can be domesticated, they can be used as a tool, and that can speed up the development of a civilization. To
domesticate animals civilizations need animals that are herbivores, large mammals with a quick growth rate, live in herds, have a good social
structure, breed well, and a nice disposition. There are 148 species of animals, but only 14 have been domesticated because they don't meet the
specifications. Eurasia had plenty of domesticated animals, far more than Papa New Guinea. Domesticated animals provide transportation, protein,
and warmth from their hair. They can work and help with crops. When domesticated animals do work, people don't need to. When people don't
have to work, they can become specialists so the civilization can develop and expand. Specialists are people that focus on other things than farming,
like becoming a doctor or an inventor. The more specialists a civilization has the more jobs created. The more people that become specialists, the
faster a civilization will develop. If a civilization has a surplus of food and a handful of domesticated animals, they don't have to focus on finding
food and farm work, they could experiment with their recourses and develop new inventions. The people of Papa New Guinea couldn't do that, so

Cats entered the New World on the Mayflower. A new breed called the American Shorthair was created. This tame cat would have been
distinguishable from the wild cats by their color patterns, hair length, and size. The tame cat could help hunt for birds and rodents because they are
hardy, tough, and athletic. It is also likely that the tame cat bred with the wild cats, so new breeds that had the characteristics of the wild ones
entered the domestic stock. Cats were not always liked though. There were many superstitions about cats, which made people afraid of them. The cat
became known as an indispensable pet for all the genuine witches. The black cat also became known as one of the symbols of Satan. These
superstitions may have started because nightly, silent expeditions of feral cats, or their weird cries and shining eyes in the dark. So, cats have not

Dogs are believed to originate from wolves, but theories investigate and lead to the cross breed of a wolf and a coyote. "Scientists have used DNA
evidence to show that, more than likely, the dog did indeed descend from the gray wolf". (HowStuffWorks) Other research such as the mitochondrial
DNA of a dog suggests that dogs and wolves were a completely different species about 100,000 years ago. In DNA scientists have found more dogs
have a higher percentage of wolf genes from wolves native to the middle east. With these studies scientists believe that the middle east was the
original location where domestication occurred. Historians believe that dogs were first domesticated by humans before any other animal. Much
scientific evidence was based on the behavior and appearance of dogs. Canines were specifically said to be just tamed wolves but in other cases
researchers believe wolves were attracted by humans waist. (Beam) This means these wolves were attracted to human settlements. These canines
first were socialized because they were brave enough to approach humans, yet not so aggressively because they were getting fed. After a period of
time passed dogs features adapted to being fed and not having to hunt anymore so their features changed overtime. As more time passed and these
dogs became more appreciate to humans, humans started to breed the dogs to help with hunting, herding, taking guard, and carrying heavy stuff. The

Natural Selection In Zoos
Many zoological establishments take pride in breeding programs. Through such programs genetic diversity is currently upheld to a point where
euthanasia is required for those animals who either do not make the cut genetically, or are hindering the process of genetic diversity in some way.

Zoos should be focusing on animals that already exist within their program. Genetic diversity is important as zoos must do the job of natural
selection or risk an extinction of an entire species. This process of natural selection should be revisited as it causes much uprising and is not
withholding the promise of protection. To ensure that generations live and grow, disease free, new genes must be introduced. Without these genes the
outcome would be a small and likely corrupted gene pool. In my personal opinion, I understand the need of genetic diversity within species as it
prevents many diseases. However, I feel that it is inappropriate for zoos to euthanise healthy animals that may interfere with the genetic diversity. Such

into nontraditional ranges such as New Zealand. The hedgehog was named because of its peculiar foraging methods. These animals root through hedges
and other undergrowth in search of the small creatures that compose the bulk of their diet:– insects, worms, centipedes, snails, mice, frogs, and snakes.

The Impact Of Domesticated Animals In Africa
The second factor is domesticated animals. The geographic location controls how an animal evolves and how they adapt to the change in climate
due to the change in seasons. In dry places like the continent of Africa, there are not very many plants available to herbivores. Because of this, there
are more carnivores in Africa which makes it more difficult to domesticate animals. The ability to domesticate animals helps a civilization develop,
as it helps people with agriculture and transportation. In Eurasia, 13 of the 14 animal candidates for domestication were successfully domesticated.
Because of this, the people of Eurasia were able to develop at a faster rate. The domesticated animals were able to provide meat, milk, protein,
warmth, create fertilizer, eat garbage and were able to be put to work. The domesticated animals had an easy diet, were able to grow quickly, were
able to breed, had good disposition. The animals also had social structure which made it easier for animals to follow humans. The geography of Eurasia
provided the people with the animals needed to help develop. Since the animals met the five requirements and were able to benefit humans in multiple
ways. On the other hand, on the hot continent of Africa, not one animal was able to be domesticated because most of the animals are carnivores.
Carnivores are tough to provide food for because it takes a lot of time and a lot of food to feed an herbivore and a lot of herbivores to feed a carnivore.

The History Of Animals Being Domesticated
The history of animals being domesticated starts as far back as 20,000 years ago, when large mammals such as bison roamed the tundra of Europe
and Asia. They were hunted widely by two groups of hunters, both smaller and weaker than the bison, but both had sufficient developed social
systems to allow them to hunt and kill in packs. These two hunters were the humans and the wolves. These two groups of hunters are surprisingly
similar. Both are family based and led by a dominant male whose female partner has authority second to his. All of the members are friendly
towards each other, but extremely suspicious of outsiders. All members are also protective of any newborn and young in the pack, and both are
good at interpreting the moods of others, by facial expression or other forms of body language. Though humans and wolves started out competing
for the same prey, but soon realized the advantages for both of them in teaming up. On the side of the wolves, human ingenuity and the use of
weapons mean a share in a greater number of kill, and maybe a taste of bigger pretty they couldn't take down alone, such as mammoths. On the side
of humans, the speed of the wolves and ferocity is equivalent to a new weapon altogether. The partnership between the two is natural. People love to
nurture an abandoned young animal, and a wolf cub is adapted to learn the rules of a hierarchical human society. For a species like the wolf to become

Is It Rare For A Coyote?
Is it rare for a coyote to attack a person? According to the Humane Society of the United States more people are killed by golf balls and by flying
champagne corks than are bitten by coyotes each year. However, even though the event of coming into contact with the sneaky, nocturnal creature is
unlikely, people still fear coyotes. The coyote's ability to contract rabies creates apprehension for those who notice a coyote in the area. People who
own pets or other domesticated animals worry that their beloved animal will be bitten and contract rabies if a coyote appears in the area. The fact
that coyote attacks are rare leads me to form a personal opinion that there is no actual reason to fear coyotes. People can be and avoid or find a
solution to coyote encounters by disallowing the coyotes to become accustomed to humans or by scaring the coyote away during the situation of an
encounter. Furthermore, if coyotes have been spotted in an area something is attracting them. Food, water, trash, and other animals could be causing
the coyotes to linger around the area. There are numerous ways to prevent coyote encounters. Seeing that the primary reason coyotes are drawn to an
area is for food, being cautious and aware of what is left outside the home could prevent coyotes from being attracted to a specific area. The steps to

The act of a matador taking control over such a large, living being not only exhibits many traditional masculine characteristics but is also a
representation of a human's ability and the power to be able to control such a wild and uncertain animal. In Garry Marvin's piece, "On being Human
in the Bullfight" he explains that in a bullfight when the bull is being harpooned by the colorful banderillas and the matador is performing logical and
intelligent moves, the bull is effectively losing its nature and being tamed. Since the torero is required to follow a set of guidelines for his fight with
the bull, he gains respect for his opponent and skillfully uses practiced movements to defeat the animal, instead of using modern weapons that would
leave no competition. This public spectacle of defeating nature has held cultural significance in Spain for hundreds of years and has long been a symbol
of their country. While individuals may find this sport offensive and brutal, the long standing it has had in Spanish culture has ultimately protected the
practice from being terminated. Recently, in an article written by Raphael Minder in the New York Times, he explained that Catalonia had effectively
banned bullfighting for eight years but it has just been overturned. Minder wrote, "conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano

Scottsbluff, Nebraska "a zookeeper...had two fingers bitten off in an attack by two chimpanzees" (Caulfield). Animals in captivity did not willingly

In a hunt such as this, their prey was wild boar. The hunters and their dogs would chase the prey to exhaustion and at that point, go in for the kill. This
target was rather dangerous, but nonetheless, the sport was enjoyed. The other form of hunting, Bow and Stable hunting, was considered less strenuous
and both men and women participated in the activity. The main weapons used was a bow and arrow or a spear. Riding on horseback, the huntsmen and
huntswomen accompanied by several dogs, would drive their prey into and enclosed area. Then, the hunters killed the prey in close range.
The dogs and horses participating in these activities prove to be very critical in the procedure of chasing, capturing, and killing the prey. They are

Chapter 1: Up To The Starting Line
This chapter starts off by explaining the evolution of the first human ancestors, which originated around seven million years ago. Historians and
scientists were able to conclude that the closest living relatives of humans are the gorilla, bonobo, and the chimpanzee. All humans from the start
originated and evolved in Africa. Of the many evolutionary stages of humans, Homo erectus was the first to migrate outward into other areas.
Neanderthals have constantly been portrayed as unintelligent, desolate, and inconsiderate creatures, from past and present points of perspective, but
evidence from archeological digs show they essentially cared for their sick and buried their dead. "The Great Leap Forward" is what Jared Diamond
calls the earliest signs or evidence of uniform tools, bone tools, jewelry, and much more. This great leap was estimated to be around 50,000 years ago.
Around the same period, hominids began to spread to New Guinea and Australia. As hominids adapted to their new surroundings, large animal species

one place become so much more advanced than others? The answer to inequality starts with geography. Europe's geographical placement gave
Europeans the advantage of having abundant, nutritious crops, giving them domesticable animals. Having these animals leads to the spread of germs
between humans and animals. Their geography also gave them everything necessary for steel production. All these advantages gave the Europeans the
ability to decimate other cultures and appropriate their resources, giving them more power.
The first step to development is agriculture. A civilization's latitude or geographic location affects the place's amount of sunlight and the number of
seasons they get, dictating the climate. The climate affects the crops they can grow, which in turn controls how productive the people can be, leading

decline in the amount of animal resources. b) There was an increased availability of domesticable plants. c) There was an increased development of
technologies for collecting, storing, and processing wild foods. d) There was a two way link between the rise in food production and a rise on human
population density, meaning that the food producing societies grew.

1. Domesticated animals are defined as an animal that has been selectively bred in captivity and has been modified from its ancestors. According to
Jared Diamond, Elephants have only been tamed because they have not been changed from their ancestors.
2. In order to be domesticated, animals must posses a variety of characteristics. Failure in anyone of the characteristics would mean that the animal
cannot be domesticated. The characteristics are: A.)
Diet–The animal's biomass should be around 10%. This means that carnivores would be practically impossible to domesticate. B.) Growth
Rate–The animals must grow fast. C.) Problems with captive breeding–The animals must be willing to share their space with others.

What Is Circadian Rhythmicity?
Many animals have adapted over time and become nocturnal for various reasons. Some of those reasons ranging from escaping predators to escaping
harsh desert heats (Griffin, 2017). For example Bats, owls, and fireflies all fall into the nocturnal animal club (Griffin, 2017). Although you may also
think many rodents would fall into this group, a large chunk of rodents are actually something called crepuscular meaning they are awake in the
twilight hours versus being only nocturnal or diurnal. These twilight hours are considered either around dawn or dusk. Circadian rhythmicity is a
critical component in these animals physiological processes which provides them with a 24–hour temporal organization much like a clock (NIGMS,

Connection Questions Connection Question #1, How does our perception of time affect our memories? Time is an essential resource we use for
perceiving what's happening around us and responding to it. We use it to tell where a voice is coming from, we time how long it takes for the
sound to reach both ears. We even use it to respond to the voice by speaking ourselves, using precise timing so the person behind the voice can
understand what you said. Scientists are finding that animals use timing in their advantage as well. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh,
built fake flowers with sugar inside to reveal how hummingbirds tell time. To test the fact that the humming birds could tell time was buy refilling
the flowers nectar after a certain period of time. In order to understand how your brain perceives time think about how time seems to stop when you
see something shocking, how it speeds up when you're having fun (Williams, 2006). In the brain, there a regular series of pulses being generated
allowing us to feel time and tweak it (Zimmer, 2008). When the brain stores time in memories, it may record time in a way that makes our brains
recall events in backward order although when we think of them you don't realise it (Johns Hopkins Medicine, 2016). LITERATURE REVIEW

Differences Between Domesticated And Wild Animals
There are notable differences between domesticated and wild animals. They are more obvious when compared between different breeds of the same
species. For most domesticated species, the variations within an organism are usually descended from a single wild species. Variation arises from
natural selection, and refers to variation both within and between species. Darwin did not believe that all domesticated species arises from a common
wild ancestor, however, modern genetics disproves this.
Research shows that all domesticated dogs arise from their wild ancestor, the wolves. Similar trends are found in other domesticated animals like cats,
horses, cows, and birds. Specifically, I will be analyzing the trends in domestication of fowl and poultry. Fowl includes two orders of birds: landfowl
(chicken, quail, pheasant) and waterfowl (duck, goose, swan). Fowl typically refers to wild birds. Poultry indicates birds that are domesticated and
raised for meat or eggs. By analyzing the behavior, evolution species variation, and domestication of birds, we can determine the traits selected for
different species. Through domestication, many breeds of birds have evolved with alterations that could be seen as adaptations to the environment.
Behavior of Wild Fowl It is widely known that the domestication of an organism involves numerous changes: genetically, physically, socially, mentally.
An interesting occurrence to note is reduction in brain size from wild to domestic animals. As

Maust-Mohl's Argument Analysis
The tourism industry regarding animal encounters can harm the animal such as physical beatings, malnourishment and mental trauma. Hediger agrees
when he writes, "Trifling disturbances may occur, for the simple reason that certain innate behavior pattern, adapted for life in freedom, cannot develop
properly under conditions of captivity, or be brought into play, through lack of appropriate stimuli" (pg. 29). Basically, Hediger is warning us that
putting animals in captivity for our personal pleasure can harm them in many ways besides physically. Society needs to pay attention to the animals
overall wellbeing to make sure they are treated ethically and with morality. Not paying attention to the needs of the animals needs during the transition

Writing in the journal, Social and Cultural Geography, Rebekah Fox states that, "we need to recognize the continuity of all life forms and value beings
for their own intrinsic worth, autonomy and difference rather than on the basis of their similarity to humans" (pg. 527). In other words, Fox believes
that humans see animals as having both humanistic qualities and having their natural instinct. However, we need to see all animals as having their own
worth, and that no species are the same. Although Fox does not say so directly, she apparently assumes that humans create these humanistic qualities of
the animal they are spending time with, with their own qualities. Fox agrees when she writes, "readings tend to essentialize animal actions into
supposed biological behavior, such as the pack instinct in dogs, and ignore animal agency and individual interaction" (pg. 529). The essence of Foxs'
argument is that some literature focuses on the animal's natural instinct instead of the empathy and individualistic traits they have. While some people
rarely admit as much similarity we have with animals, they often take for granted that humans have the same natural instinct to want to protect their
young and defend against predators. Realizing the similarities humans have with animals the public needs to be more concerned about the tourism
industry and how it greatly affects animals lives. The

The Specialization Of Domesticated Animals
1 In this context, the word "domestication" mean the way crops are changed by the hand of Humans.
2. Food sources, especially cereal crops, were easy to domesticate due to the conveniences of having multiple tiny seeds and being able to spread the
seeds in comparison to having to plant one bulb at a time, harvesting cereal takes less time and less effort.this process resulted in the production and
development, advancement of survival in that environments.
3. Humans domesticated animal's by learning to get the animals to listen, some of these tactics were feeding them, taking over a heard by concurring the
leader to that animal species. There was some qualities or realization that humans had to look for in an animal while domesticating them. Humans had
animals domesticated to provide a convenience. They reaped many benefits such as milk clothing meat with protein and fertilizer, it also created a

With agriculture came domestication. Domestication is defined as humans changing the environment and the ecosystems within the environment in
order to make the Earth safer for humans and to gain more beneficial and productive goods and services (Kareiva et al., 2007). Domestication can be
categorized to two big branches: domestication of plants and domestication of animals. Humans facilitated domestication of plants through agricultural
practices. Through artificial selection, humans chose domesticate plants with traits that are most advantageous for humans' survival, usually those that
yield the most food (Young, 2016). When these traits are selected repeatedly, domesticated crops resulted in differing both physiologically and
morphologically from its ancestor species. Domestication suggests enlargement of plant structure. Bigger plant structure prompts an increase in
abundance and likelihood of herbivores that may feed off of these domesticated crops. Increase in seed size also negatively correlates with toughness of
seed coat. This relationship indicates that more parasites are able to prey on these weak domesticated crops (Chen, 2015). Shang et al. (2014) also
establish a specific example and write that humans have purposefully domesticated cucumbers without the bitter taste, which protected the species from
herbivores. Without the bitter taste, the cucumber species is now defenseless against herbivores

Inequality has been an issue from the dawn of time. All throughout history we can see prime examples of this. World war two and the german
invasion, The Spanish and the Incas, and the most well known example, today. But few people have ever asked why it's always been this way. Europe
had geography on it's side, giving them agricultural advantages, helping them to domesticate animals (and in turn, building resistance to disease)
leading to a surplus of food for specialists to invent and experiment. Finally, that led to the decimation of other cultures, and the appropriation of their
resources. Geography affects climate which in turn controls what crops can grow in an area and if or how they feed, power, and ultimately drive a

Focusing on the Spanish who, thanks to their latitude, could create roaring hot fires and with a supply of iron, their specialists could create steel. But
looking at the Incas, they had the time and climate, however, they were lacking in iron. Thus, steel was not created in the Incan empire. So with steel,
the Spanish soared ahead, creating tools, weapons, vessels for travel overseas, and the plow, which allowed for even more time and in turn, more
specialists. Because the Inca didn't have steel, they had to rely on stone tools and their single domesticated animal, the llama. Without steel, we

Exotic Animals Research Paper
While many people think that animals are safe at zoos and privately owned farms it's far from the truth. In 2011, nearly 50 animals died when their
owner left open their cages before he shot himself. Eighteen tigers, seventeen African lions, six black bears, two grizzly bears, two wolves, and a
baboon were killed by police officers who deemed the animals to be a danger to the community (Wild at Home). Instances like these show that private
owners don't put their animals' well–being first. Exotic animals like chimpanzees and tigers shouldn't be kept as pets because many of them suffer due
to the substandard care that is given to them by private owners, many of them pose a threat not only to their owners but to their community, and many
of them carry multiple diseases that are transmittable to humans. Many of the owners try to "domesticate" the animals by confining them in small
enclosures, chaining them, beating them, and even by performing mutilations like tooth pulling. In one case, six African exotic cats had been living in

to deal with than wild orcas. Consequently, the animals' quality of life is reduced to following trainer demands in fear of the repercussion.
For instance, chimpanzees that are used in famous movies like the Planet of the Apes movies will often start their career very early on in their life. As
a consequence these animals are subject to physical and mental abuse.
Performing chimpanzees are taken from their mothers at a very young age. This causes tremendous emotional and psychological distress to the
mother as well as to the infant. Trainers frequently use fear and physical discipline to control their apes and the degree of force increases as the apes
grow. This continues until they're about 8 years old and too dangerous to work with.
However, even after they are retired, film chimpanzees have no guarantee that their way of living will be restored. Some chimpanzees are lucky and

Domesticated Animals In Papa New Guinea The people in Papa New Guinea still used stone tools in the 1960's, when people in the United States had already developed telephones and spaceships that sent people to the moon. Why were the people in Papa New Guinea so behind? Inequality is very apparent in our world today, but do you ever wonder why? Or how it started? For everyone to be equal they need to grow and develop at the same pace and in order for that to happen they need the same good crops, and helpful animals so they can have time and create specialists, they need the same immunities to certain diseases, they need specialists to create new technology like steel, and all those things depended on where they were located in the world, geography.

Geographic location affects what animals are available in that location. If a civilization has animals that can be domesticated, they can be used as a tool, and that can speed up the development of a civilization. To domesticate animals civilizations need animals that are herbivores, large mammals with a quick growth rate, live in herds, have a good social structure, breed well, and a nice disposition. There are 148 species of animals, but only 14 have been domesticated because they don't meet the specifications. Eurasia had plenty of domesticated animals, far more than Papa New Guinea. Domesticated animals provide transportation, protein, and warmth from their hair. They can work and help with crops. When domesticated animals do work, people don't need to. When people don't have to work, they can become specialists so the civilization can develop and expand. Specialists are people that focus on other things than farming, like becoming a doctor or an inventor. The more specialists a civilization has the more jobs created. The more people that become specialists, the faster a civilization will develop. If a civilization has a surplus of food and a handful of domesticated animals, they don't have to focus on finding food and farm work, they could experiment with their recourses and develop new inventions. The people of Papa New Guinea couldn't do that, so there became a bigger gap between them and Eurasia, it created more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Cats entered the New World on the Mayflower. A new breed called the American Shorthair was created. This tame cat would have been distinguishable from the wild cats by their color patterns, hair length, and size. The tame cat could help hunt for birds and rodents because they are hardy, tough, and athletic. It is also likely that the tame cat bred with the wild cats, so new breeds that had the characteristics of the wild ones entered the domestic stock. Cats were not always liked though. There were many superstitions about cats, which made people afraid of them. The cat became known as an indispensable pet for all the genuine witches. The black cat also became known as one of the symbols of Satan. These superstitions may have started because nightly, silent expeditions of feral cats, or their weird cries and shining eyes in the dark. So, cats have not always been accepted as a domestic pet.

Dogs are believed to originate from wolves, but theories investigate and lead to the cross breed of a wolf and a coyote. "Scientists have used DNA evidence to show that, more than likely, the dog did indeed descend from the gray wolf". (HowStuffWorks) Other research such as the mitochondrial DNA of a dog suggests that dogs and wolves were a completely different species about 100,000 years ago. In DNA scientists have found more dogs have a higher percentage of wolf genes from wolves native to the middle east. With these studies scientists believe that the middle east was the original location where domestication occurred. Historians believe that dogs were first domesticated by humans before any other animal. Much scientific evidence was based on the behavior and appearance of dogs. Canines were specifically said to be just tamed wolves but in other cases researchers believe wolves were attracted by humans waist. (Beam) This means these wolves were attracted to human settlements. These canines first were socialized because they were brave enough to approach humans, yet not so aggressively because they were getting fed. After a period of time passed dogs features adapted to being fed and not having to hunt anymore so their features changed overtime. As more time passed and these dogs became more appreciate to humans, humans started to breed the dogs to help with hunting, herding, taking guard, and carrying heavy stuff.

  • 6. Natural Selection In Zoos Many zoological establishments take pride in breeding programs. Through such programs genetic diversity is currently upheld to a point where euthanasia is required for those animals who either do not make the cut genetically, or are hindering the process of genetic diversity in some way. Should zoos be allowed to continue to preserve genetic diversity regardless of the cost to its current residence? Some people believe that killing the animals involved is unnecessary and poor practice by the zoo.

Zoos should be focusing on animals that already exist within their program. Genetic diversity is important as zoos must do the job of natural selection or risk an extinction of an entire species. This process of natural selection should be revisited as it causes much uprising and is not withholding the promise of protection. To ensure that generations live and grow, disease free, new genes must be introduced. Without these genes the outcome would be a small and likely corrupted gene pool. In my personal opinion, I understand the need of genetic diversity within species as it prevents many diseases.

First, hHedgehogs are mammals that are native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. There are some fifteen species of hedgehogs in these listed countries, says National Geographic (nN.dD.). Hedgehogs have also been introduced into nontraditional ranges such as New Zealand. The hedgehog was named because of its peculiar foraging methods. These animals root through hedges and other undergrowth in search of the small creatures that compose the bulk of their diet:– insects, worms, centipedes, snails, mice, frogs, and snakes.

  • 9. The Impact Of Domesticated Animals In Africa The second factor is domesticated animals. The geographic location controls how an animal evolves and how they adapt to the change in climate due to the change in seasons. In dry places like the continent of Africa, there are not very many plants available to herbivores. Because of this, there are more carnivores in Africa which makes it more difficult to domesticate animals. The ability to domesticate animals helps a civilization develop, as it helps people with agriculture and transportation. In Eurasia, 13 of the 14 animal candidates for domestication were successfully domesticated. Because of this, the people of Eurasia were able to develop at a faster rate. The domesticated animals were able to provide meat, milk, protein, warmth, create fertilizer, eat garbage and were able to be put to work. The domesticated animals had an easy diet, were able to grow quickly, were able to breed, had good disposition. The animals also had social structure which made it easier for animals to follow humans. The geography of Eurasia provided the people with the animals needed to help develop. Since the animals met the five requirements and were able to benefit humans in multiple ways. On the other hand, on the hot continent of Africa, not one animal was able to be domesticated because most of the animals are carnivores.

  • 10. The History Of Animals Being Domesticated The history of animals being domesticated starts as far back as 20,000 years ago, when large mammals such as bison roamed the tundra of Europe and Asia. They were hunted widely by two groups of hunters, both smaller and weaker than the bison, but both had sufficient developed social systems to allow them to hunt and kill in packs. These two hunters were the humans and the wolves. These two groups of hunters are surprisingly similar. Both are family based and led by a dominant male whose female partner has authority second to his. All of the members are friendly towards each other, but extremely suspicious of outsiders. All members are also protective of any newborn and young in the pack, and both are good at interpreting the moods of others, by facial expression or other forms of body language. Though humans and wolves started out competing for the same prey, but soon realized the advantages for both of them in teaming up. On the side of the wolves, human ingenuity and the use of weapons mean a share in a greater number of kill, and maybe a taste of bigger pretty they couldn't take down alone, such as mammoths. On the side of humans, the speed of the wolves and ferocity is equivalent to a new weapon altogether. The partnership between the two is natural.

  • 11. Is It Rare For A Coyote? Is it rare for a coyote to attack a person? According to the Humane Society of the United States more people are killed by golf balls and by flying champagne corks than are bitten by coyotes each year. However, even though the event of coming into contact with the sneaky, nocturnal creature is unlikely, people still fear coyotes. The coyote's ability to contract rabies creates apprehension for those who notice a coyote in the area. People who own pets or other domesticated animals worry that their beloved animal will be bitten and contract rabies if a coyote appears in the area. The fact that coyote attacks are rare leads me to form a personal opinion that there is no actual reason to fear coyotes. People can be and avoid or find a solution to coyote encounters by disallowing the coyotes to become accustomed to humans or by scaring the coyote away during the situation of an encounter. Furthermore, if coyotes have been spotted in an area something is attracting them. Food, water, trash, and other animals could be causing the coyotes to linger around the area. There are numerous ways to prevent coyote encounters. Seeing that the primary reason coyotes are drawn to an area is for food, being cautious and aware of what is left outside the home could prevent coyotes from being attracted to a specific area. The steps to preventing a coyote encounter are simple. Try to abstain from feeding pets or other domesticated animals outside. If feeding the animals outside is a necessity, ...

Despite more recent efforts to combat the use of animals for human pleasure, there are still practices that are deeply ingrained in cultures that people are unwilling to give up. In many cases of humans using animals for their benefit, the animal's welfare is endangered and they are put in situations that are unnatural and may ultimately result in their death.

The act of a matador taking control over such a large, living being not only exhibits many traditional masculine characteristics but is also a representation of a human's ability and the power to be able to control such a wild and uncertain animal. In Garry Marvin's piece, "On being Human in the Bullfight" he explains that in a bullfight when the bull is being harpooned by the colorful banderillas and the matador is performing logical and intelligent moves, the bull is effectively losing its nature and being tamed. Since the torero is required to follow a set of guidelines for his fight with the bull, he gains respect for his opponent and skillfully uses practiced movements to defeat the animal, instead of using modern weapons that would leave no competition. This public spectacle of defeating nature has held cultural significance in Spain for hundreds of years and has long been a symbol of their country. While individuals may find this sport offensive and brutal, the long standing it has had in Spanish culture has ultimately protected the practice from being terminated. Recently, in an article written by Raphael Minder in the New York Times, he explained that Catalonia had effectively banned bullfighting for eight years but it has just been overturned. Minder wrote, "conservative government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy...introduced new legislation to more clearly define bullfighting as part of Spain's cultural heritage." For the people who advocate for the games continuance, the use of the bull in the fight means they are carrying on a century old Spanish culture and productively showing human force over the ...

Zoos do not have the decency to give their captives free run of their trees. Animals being held in captivity develop aggressive behavior. Captive is defined as "captured; held prisoner" (Captive). On 25 December 2007 a 350–pound "Siberian Tiger escaped from its grotto at the San Francisco Zoo ...and went on a bloody rampage in front of terrified zoo patrons" (Rubenstein A–1). That same tiger chewed a zoo keepers arm during a scheduled feeding one month prior. In January 2011, in "Knoxville, Tennessee, an 8,000–pound elephant crushed a zookeeper to death inside a cage" (Venezia). In Scottsbluff, Nebraska "a zookeeper...had two fingers bitten off in an attack by two chimpanzees" (Caulfield). Animals in captivity did not willingly choose to be there. No guest would attack their host if they were in the zoo of their own free will. Animals that turn aggressive towards their trainers or keepers are not in the purest since of the word, happy. If an animal were happy in captivity, they would possess no reason to attack. Keeping wild animals in captivity shortens their natural life span.

He asserts that it is not because of any genetic superiority that the current unequal distribution of wealth and power exists. Diamond was inspired to write this book because of a question posed to him by a Papua New Guinean named Yali. Yali inquired as to whom white people have more cargo (material possessions) than Papua New Guineans.

It was geographical advantages that allowed Europeans to gain the guns, germs, and steel, that enabled them to be a world power. Chapter 1: Up To The Starting Line This chapter starts off by explaining the evolution of the first human ancestors, which originated around seven million years ago. Historians and scientists were able to conclude that the closest living relatives of humans are the gorilla, bonobo, and the chimpanzee. All humans from the start originated and evolved in Africa. Of the many evolutionary stages of humans, Homo erectus was the first to migrate outward into other areas. Neanderthals have constantly been portrayed as unintelligent, desolate, and inconsiderate creatures, from past and present points of perspective, but evidence from archeological digs show they essentially cared for their sick and buried their dead. "The Great Leap Forward" is what Jared Diamond calls the earliest signs or evidence of uniform tools, bone tools, jewelry, and much more. This great leap was estimated to be around 50,000 years ago. Around the same period, hominids began to spread to New Guinea and Australia. As hominids adapted to their new surroundings, large animal species were wiped out because they weren't evolved to defend themselves against hominids and other predators.

This is the complete opposite in Yemen, as there are around 400,000 children there that suffer from malnutrition, causing a child to die every 10 minutes from diseases related to starvation. All over the world, countries are at different levels of technological advancements, but where do these disparities come from? How could one place become so much more advanced than others? The answer to inequality starts with geography. Europe's geographical placement gave Europeans the advantage of having abundant, nutritious crops, giving them domesticable animals. Having these animals leads to the spread of germs between humans and animals. Their geography also gave them everything necessary for steel production. All these advantages gave the Europeans the ability to decimate other cultures and appropriate their resources, giving them more power. The first step to development is agriculture. A civilization's latitude or geographic location affects the place's amount of sunlight and the number of seasons they get, dictating the climate. The climate affects the crops they can grow, which in turn controls how productive the people can be, leading to development.

Time is an essential resource we use for perceiving what's happening around us and responding to it. We use it to tell where a voice is coming from, we time how long it takes for the sound to reach both ears. We even use it to respond to the voice by speaking ourselves, using precise timing so the person behind the voice can understand what you said. Scientists are finding that animals use timing in their advantage as well. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, built fake flowers with sugar inside to reveal how hummingbirds tell time. To test the fact that the humming birds could tell time was buy refilling the flowers nectar after a certain period of time. In order to understand how your brain perceives time think about how time seems to stop when you see something shocking, how it speeds up when you're having fun (Williams, 2006).

  • 24. Differences Between Domesticated And Wild Animals There are notable differences between domesticated and wild animals. They are more obvious when compared between different breeds of the same species. For most domesticated species, the variations within an organism are usually descended from a single wild species. Variation arises from natural selection, and refers to variation both within and between species. Darwin did not believe that all domesticated species arises from a common wild ancestor, however, modern genetics disproves this. Research shows that all domesticated dogs arise from their wild ancestor, the wolves. Similar trends are found in other domesticated animals like cats, horses, cows, and birds. Specifically, I will be analyzing the trends in domestication of fowl and poultry. Fowl includes two orders of birds: landfowl (chicken, quail, pheasant) and waterfowl (duck, goose, swan). Fowl typically refers to wild birds. Poultry indicates birds that are domesticated and raised for meat or eggs. By analyzing the behavior, evolution species variation, and domestication of birds, we can determine the traits selected for different species. Through domestication, many breeds of birds have evolved with alterations that could be seen as adaptations to the environment. Behavior of Wild Fowl It is widely known that the domestication of an organism involves numerous changes: genetically, physically, socially, mentally. An interesting occurrence to note is reduction in brain size from wild to domestic animals. As ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Writing in the journal, Social and Cultural Geography, Rebekah Fox states that, "we need to recognize the continuity of all life forms and value beings for their own intrinsic worth, autonomy and difference rather than on the basis of their similarity to humans" (pg. 527). In other words, Fox believes that humans see animals as having both humanistic qualities and having their natural instinct. However, we need to see all animals as having their own worth, and that no species are the same. Although Fox does not say so directly, she apparently assumes that humans create these humanistic qualities of the animal they are spending time with, with their own qualities. Fox agrees when she writes, "readings tend to essentialize animal actions into supposed biological behavior, such as the pack instinct in dogs, and ignore animal agency and individual interaction" (pg. 529). The essence of Foxs' argument is that some literature focuses on the animal's natural instinct instead of the empathy and individualistic traits they have. While some people rarely admit as much similarity we have with animals, they often take for granted that humans have the same natural instinct to want to protect their young and defend against predators. Realizing the similarities humans have with animals the public needs to be more concerned about the tourism industry and how it greatly affects animals lives. The ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Domestication is defined as humans changing the environment and the ecosystems within the environment in order to make the Earth safer for humans and to gain more beneficial and productive goods and services (Kareiva et al., 2007). Domestication can be categorized to two big branches: domestication of plants and domestication of animals. Humans facilitated domestication of plants through agricultural practices. Through artificial selection, humans chose domesticate plants with traits that are most advantageous for humans' survival, usually those that yield the most food (Young, 2016). When these traits are selected repeatedly, domesticated crops resulted in differing both physiologically and morphologically from its ancestor species. Domestication suggests enlargement of plant structure. Bigger plant structure prompts an increase in abundance and likelihood of herbivores that may feed off of these domesticated crops. Increase in seed size also negatively correlates with toughness of seed coat. This relationship indicates that more parasites are able to prey on these weak domesticated crops (Chen, 2015).
