Guns, Germs, and Steel chapter 9 questions,
Question 1:
On page 173 Jared Diamond discusses the domestication of cats and ferrets. As it turns out there is something rather unusual about the domestication of these two species. Why are they so atypical, and how is it exactly that they don’t fit the mold of other domesticated animals? Explain. Cats and ferrets are were domesticated to not have them in large groups but to have raised them to be pets or food. Both types of animals are very solitary and will not travel with other cats or ferrets or be very submissive.
Question 2: There are several different animals whose domestication has been tried, and failed. Think zebras, cheetahs, grizzlies, etc. What are three different reasons a species might resist domestication? Explain, and give an example of each one. This section begins on the bottom of page 168. Some animals will refuse to mate after being grown in a cage or at the zoo. They become very aggressive. When they don't have their natural habitats they won't be able to adjust because they are meant to roam free. They need natural places to live or they eventually die.
