Around thirteen thousand years ago, people in west asia began to domesticate animals like sheep. Sheep are small and not very dangerous, and they move in big groups and follow their leader. This makes them easy to domesticate. They became an important source of meat. Later, the farmers also learned how to make clothes from their wool cows. People in west asia started to domesticate, or rocks, a kind of wild ox. Sometime after eight thousand B, C, E, oros are now extinct. But they used to live all over europe and asia. They provided people with milk and meat, and they were also good working animals. As with other animals, people chose to keep or rocks with good genes.
