Domestication in the Americas

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Domestication in the Americas occurred later than the earliest Old World domestication. While some animals were domesticated in the Americas (such as llamas and alpacas in South America), the process was not as extensive as in the Old World, where many more species were domesticated. Canal irrigation was used in some parts of the Americas, but it was not essential for domestication. The statement "never truly happened" is incorrect, as there is evidence of domestication of certain animals in the Americas.
