Horses, as well as camels, used to be in the Americas, until they were hunted to extinction after the arrival of humans (Paleo-Indians) thousands of years ago. So in other words, Native Americans had no animals to domesticate because their ancestors wiped them out.

This is literally the most laughable thing I've ever seen lol.
-
3:45 An unintentional Plague-ground! Anyone? Okay...
-
I like that Settlers of Catan reference

Holy god CGP you have 2160p 4K taks like so good...wow.

WOW, Your Channel is a Treasure!!

London is known to have been terrible for cholera as much of the world speaks English so the English experience is well known and people like to see the rotteness at the core of Empire (shadenfreude) - Naples and Bombay and Istanbul were pretty disease ridden too - but who cares about them, and who reads those languages.
Syphilis may be a New World Disease.
The New World pretty much wiped out is animals in the Pleistocene Overkill - the peaceful natives living not in harmony with nature but wiping out a fauna as diverse as that in Africa - so the loss of the natives due to disease is sorta payback for wiping out the large fauna. The New World has horses and large camels. -
Huh. Betting racist liberals wont like that.

What about lung cancer?
-
Well now I know why grey likes Settlers of Catan so much.

It seems the fact that the old world came to the new world instead of the other way around was overlooked. The incubation time of any potentially fatal new world disease would most likely be shorter than the trans Atlantic crossing time limiting the spread back to the new world. Like wise if in an alternate timeline the new world came to the old, the return trip would have limited the spread of these diseases as they died returning to the Americas, and when a ship returns from a far way land with many of the crew & passengers dead or dying, I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to want to quarantine them before letting them back into general population.

Wow. So good.
-
Really great video. However, horses actually evolved in North America and went extinct in North America between 7,000-10,000 years ago, sometime after human arrival there. The reason isn't known but it might have been humans. :/ So the North Americans possibly could have had horses. Otherwise though they definitely had a worse deal for domestication. Guinea pigs and llamas; it can't get much worse than that.

5:36 Butt cloud

i would add that the americas actually had horses, but they were massacred by native americans. i would also add that the americas had some variety of sheep, but were never domesticated. so there were some tools that the native americans possessed but never domesticated. was it because these north american varieties were like the zebra?
-
While europeans had the right animals, americans had the right plants (potatoes, corn, etc.). Why didn't this play a role?
-
Bubonic, Septicemic, Pneumonic, Justinian, and other types of Plague even today thinking about the matter Plagues our mindsets.
-
So it is smart that i don't want to be around animals (and some people like niggers, jews, etc.).
-
here is a interesting follow up question to this idea of moving the animals around. if the people of north america had rinses to power and dominated the world would that mean most of the world languages be poly synthetic
An example of a modern domesticated cow and a a wild bison "Omg they had it so hard"
"Yeah guys i know that wild boars have tusks that kill and swarm and trample people, but trust me Europe had it easy."
Elephants can be taught to stand on a ball
Bulls are the male counter parts and they are pretty similar to a bison.
