Too bad they didn't domesticate the people while they were at it.

So they domesticated the donkey and just stopped?
Did anyone there have a passing thought about how to get more work out of a donkey? Like the wheel, carts, chariots, wagons?
No they waited for the Sumerians to invent it and make it’s slow way to Africa.

I guess that means AOC’s ancestors were from Africa.

this isn’t news, right? I thought it was pretty well accepted that donkeys are descended from the Asian wild ass which has a range across Ethiopia to Yemen to India?

We don't have a Donkey, but we have a Mule, which is a cross between a Horse and a Donkey. Ithaca. He's a trip. Loves apples, carrots and Milk Bones. He makes lovely, LOVELY compost for my garden. :)

But, don't turn your back on him; he's a pony-tail puller. ;)
