Wolves lived in groups and followed a leader. About 15,000 to 23,000 years ago, some wolves began to come near people's camps to look for food. The people found that these wolves could help them hunt and guard their homes. Over time, the wolves became dogs. / Sheep and goats were domesticated about 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. They were easy to keep because they ate grass and moved in groups. Cattle came a little later.

This time, he sat near the fire and did not run away. / Weeks passed. The wolf began to guard the camp at night. When other wild animals came near, he barked and woke the people.

Dogs were probably the first domesticated animals, and their ancestor was the wolf. Wolves lived in groups and followed a leader, so they were not too hard to tame. Sheep and goats came next because they feed on grass and move in groups. People gave animals food and a safe place. In return, animals gave people milk, wool, meat and help with their work. This is why we say animals are our good friends. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
