Weird History Food - Season 2 Episode 45 : What Animals Looked Like Before We Started Breeding Them for Food 2024

Weird History Food is taking a look at the animals we use for our food. Around 11,000 years ago when humans first began trading nomadic lifestyles for permanent communities, they also began to domesticate animals. Species like sheep, cattle, and goats were among the first to be tamed based on their usefulness to human survival. This was only the beginning of the millennia of selective breeding, changing what were once wild animals into the domestic creatures commonly recognized today.
