It involves wild animals being transformed into something more useful form humans, such as a cow for food or fertilization and plows. Many species by this time have dramatically changed in size rather it makes them bigger or just their brains smaller but having more developed organs. Keeping them as a pet is also an example of having them domesticated because they are tamed instead of wild. Dates of domestication are evidence found between 8,000-2500 B.C. and DNA and genetics is also evident.

Their climates and environments differ and makes diamond wonder how unity came through. China has over 130 little languages and four linguistic families and explains them and their cultures.
Chapter 17: The movement that brought ancient people to Australia and New Guinea also brought people to the Polynesian islands and this causes him to look at the direction it happened in. Today in the Polynesian islands is homogenous in terms of language and genetics and is surprising because not many humans occupied the region. Appearance is a huge comparison in this chapter because it shows how they spread and what replaced other things such as language.
Chapter 18: The differences between Old World Europe and the New World Americas was the large mammal species discussed in previous chapters. By 1942, agriculture was widespread in Europe while it was in the America and caused a wider range of hunter-gatherer societies. Agriculture in America had several disadvantages because they depended on poor corn, hand planted seeds, but hand tilled land and without large mammals they lacked animal power to help in food and fertilizer. Food production, therefore causes the differences and inequalities between the
