A horse and a zebra are essentially the same animal. If europeans could domesticate one, the africans should have been able to domesticate the other. Jared Diamond's argument that Africa lacked domesticatable species was utter nonsense.

She also hopes to understand why the ass was domesticated and not, say, the zebra. Donkey has better camouflage than zebra in a desert land?
