The Geography of Livestock

Honey might not seem worth it to our modern sugar-rich diet, but imagine what it was like for ancient people who lived on plain fruit, grains and meat - golden honey would've been a miraculous taste sensation.

It's funny that in English, you have turkey which is the same name as a country, Turkey. While in Portuguese, a turkey is called a "peru" which is the same name as a country, Peru.

I want to know the geography of our grains and vegetables. that would be interesting to know.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Me: adjusts spectacles Actually it was the red junglefowl originating from the tropical regions of India and South Eastern Asia

“African wild ass”. Imagine this phrase without context. 🤣😂🤣😂

"Grains, Vegetables, or maybe even pets" 1, 2, and 3.

“Piggle” has entered my vocabulary.

3:35 - "With 19 billion total chickens alive today on Earth, grown solely for their meat" Eggs: "Am I a joke to you?"

You forgot water buffaloes. Very important domestic animal of South and Southeast Asia.

3:04 What do you mean, that's totally a historically accurate representation of cockfighting

The domestication of horses is very important to civil history. If you know anything about linguistics, then the Yamnaya people expanded from the Pontic steppe on these horses that they began domesticating. After a Yamnaya-descended group of Anatolians became the Hittites, the near Eastern empires around them adopted their horse and chariot practices. Today, many languages we speak today, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Persian, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and Marathi all derive from the Yamnaya language spoken 6000 years ago.

If aliens landed in Turkey, the Turks would try to domesticate them 😂

"You're being a Jenny" Is my new fav slur.

You missed a couple: reindeer/Caribou by the Sami, Guinea pigs by the Andeans (for its meat) Other fowl (Ducks, Geese, Swans, Peacocks, Quail, etc.) Meat Rabbits. I probably missed a couple too! Interesting historical domesticate: Snails! While I don't think modern Escargot Snails are considered domesticated, there is archeological evidence of massive Snails that gained that size by being bred and cultivated as food by Greeks in ancient times.

Animal: exists Turkey: it's free real estate

My ears hearing East + My eyes reading West = My brain thinking Weast 😂

In portuguese the bird turkey is called "peru", which is also the name of a country. The name comes from the fact that the Portuguese believed that the bird was original from the region of Peru, in South America. So the Portuguese people also missed the target, but not as much as the English.

5:51 "eurasian boar" - shows African warthog

“And definitely didn’t do anything bad in any of these places” omg this killed me

"Let's get the big one out of the way: Chickens." My guy, that's the little one. The cow is the big one.
