Savage Survivals

by J. Howard Moore

Excerpt from Savage Survivals

All domesticated animals have come from wild animals. Man was once a wild animal himself before he had invented houses, and farms, and clothes, and vehicles, and art, and science, and be fore he had acquired the enterprise to domesticate other animals.

In many cases it is possible to put our finger on the particular wild species from which each domesticated variety has come. In other cases this is impossible. This may be due to the fact that the changes in the domesticated race have been so great that it is no longer possible to iden tify the ancestral species; or it may be because the wild part of the species has been exterminated since domestication began and the species exists now only in the captive state. This last is true of the camels. There are no wild camels. All the camels there are in the world are associated with men.
