Here’s another dumb question: Did the Egyptians domesticate jackals? (That one in question appears to be wearing a collar)
It’s speculated that they tried to domesticate the jackal, good eye.
Domestication is something that is something done ages ago and it’s not known how it got done, suggesting that whatever the practices were antedate writing by a long time, and were passed down as an oral tradition.
After writing came around, it didn’t get written down because it didn’t need to be, and/or, everything that could be domesticated (because of inherent characteristics) had been.
