Giraffe cavalry, make it so.

>doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'domesticate.'

Russian fox experiment basically proves animals can be domesticated with just few generations of artificial selection breeding the most docile ones. Also asians have for centuries made used of tamed elephants yet africans somehow never figured it out.

>yet africans somehow never figured it out.
*crosses your alps*

>Russian fox experiment

furfag detected, and no the experiment was designed to show how domesticated traits like wagging tails or floppy ears could develop within five generations or less, NOT full domestication and multiple authorities disagree with classifying the russian silver fox as "domesticated"

wtf i love john green now

Why do you use that image when we have a perfectly good understanding of what Carthaginians looked like?

>using (((cracker))) revisionist images

>yet africans somehow never figured it out.

African elephants are far more aggressive and territorial (not to mention much larger), that's why.

The north african elephant that Carthage used is extinct, it's not the same as the kind associated with Africa now.

Here's a Cathaginian shekel.
Give me archeological proof that Carthaginians weren't Phoenician colonists from the Fertile Crescent

Yet, Carthaginians and Egyptians turned African elephants into their bitches.

So, what stopped the Africans from turning their buffaloes into farming machines?

Why the fuck are you even replying to him when you fully well know he's baiting on your oversensitive ass?

>wh*te boi thinks the fertile crescent is in Africa
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

North african elephants are much smaller than southern ones

Woah don't compare extreme speed domestication to a people picking from the few choices they have domestication.

fuck off reddit

what are you talking about, your trolls aren't very effective if you're making 0 sense whatsoever, more confusing than angering

>wanting to own child sacrifice as part of your legacy

So why didn't they use the forest elephant? (Diamonds aren't forever, the Jew ornithologist forever btfo zebra chariots)

Is this another thread where people don't understand the difference between taming and domestication?

The undertaker arrives to carry out Jared Diamond's mangled intellectual corpse

We were able to domesticate a bunch of African animals until Abe Lincoln fucked it up.

Elephants aren't domesticated. IIRC people have to capture new wild ones as babies.

came here to post zebras

Only animal Africans domesticated seems to be other Africans.

To piss people like you off.

muh dik
muh dik muddafugga

Asian elephants aren't tamed you fucking retard. They are beaten into submission and require handling by a dedicated mahout at all times.

are you that stupid nigger? or are you just some underage white fat fag/bitch pretending to be nigger?

who ever said that Africa doesn't have domesticable animals?

Who ever that was must have been seriously retarded

WE WUZ CARTHAGINIANS N SHIT

But muh guns
But muh germs
But muh steel

Pretty sure it refers to the Americas not having domesticable animals not Africa

>ruler of carthage.

I would be interested in hearing more about this. I was under the impression that they were effectively fully neotenized.

No it says that about Africa too, not sure why they would say this about the Americas though, as most modern day cattle descended from wild aurochs who are in essence the European version of the Bison.

Also, Bison are actually being farmed in America today

Also, the Eskimo tamed wolves.

Aren't horses, also, basically native to the Americas?

The ancestor to horses were but the horse didn't exist in the Americas, their descendent is the llama, which was domesticated by the Incas.

>they wernt domesticated in 5 generations

>therefore they can literally never be domesticated

>Is this another thread where people don't understand the difference between taming and domestication?

You're missing the point, taming is the first step to eventual domestication and the Africans didn't even get to the 1st step.

that is the definition of tamed

Can't domesticate bison without horses they're just too big even if you have have doggos

No they were introduced by Europeans, closest thing over there is llama which are bloody useless animals

Horses' ancestors were native to the Americas, and the Hagerman horse didn't die out until about 10,000 years ago

fair enough but still puts domesticable horse like creature out of reach of the natives. Assuming Hagerman Horses were domesticable before they went extinct.

Why are llamas useless? They're basically camels that can climb mountains.

> llama
> useless
neck yourself

>basically proves

OUT OUT OUT

maybe I'm being unfair on the llama. It's the relatively light loads and 11 month pregnancies, that scuppers them

They probably could have been bred to carry heavier loads if it had been a priority

You're obese

I think at the time it was easier to use the other all terrain beast of burden: people

>he thinks Europeans domesticated any animal larger than a dog

HA! The European subspecies of the Auroch was hunted to extinction after the European woodland was nearly wiped out. The ones Europeans have are from the Middle East. There are only three places where cattle were domesticated: The Middle East, India, and North Africa (where most African cattle comes from).

>3423954
No, you're basically right. I've lived on a farm with Llamas and they're shit. Ill-tempered, skittish, dull, they can't carry a human sized load, and making them do something they don't feel like doing is liable to get you a big ole Llama-loogie hawked in your face.

They're like a poor man's camel. Horses, mules, and donkeys are objectively superior in every way as work animals unless you're trying to cross a desolate, frozen wasteland on foot.

Forgot to add: if anything, Europeans improved the animals they got, though it's important to remember that the subspecies of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens that are in Europe/America/everywhere that isn't Asia or Africa aren't native to Europe. Dogs are, as they were domesticated twice, once in Europe and another earlier time in Asia.
