    Honey might not seem worth it to our modern sugar-rich diet, but imagine what it was like for ancient people who lived on plain fruit, grains and meat - golden honey would've been a miraculous taste sensation.

      And some Chinese came to India to learn how to produce it... They went back home and... They mass-produced it and exported it so much that now sugar is called "चीनी"(cheenee) in Hindi which means Chinese.

      CO2/Carbon plus H2O/Water captures the EM energy of the Sun/Son-Galaxy/father and creates life.
      Earth is a closed loop that self regulates CO2 with life by combing CO2with H2O to capture the EM of the double toroidal fields we call the Sun and or galactic nucleus.
      Cause and effect. Temperature rises first and CO2 follows as the Arctic thaws due to crossing the galactic plane and increased DIRECT sunlight at the higher latitudes poles. The Arctic is nothing but frozen CO2.
      Precession causes our climate cycles of Continental glaciers with lower sea levels brought on by East to West Global Tsunami's when we cross the galaxies Electromagnetic/Gravitational plane/Equator for the next Millenia.
      The Galactic Milankovitch cycles cause our climate cycles. Eccentricity galactic bulge rotates every 240,000 years. Obliquity/Magnetic north changes according to the galactic bulge with Aphelion occurring once every 120,000 years or 24.5 degrees magnetic north inclination putting us in the tropical age. When magnetic north will be at 21.5 degrees inclination we will be in the ice age.
      Covid1984 like CO2 is a comfortable lie built upon the inconvenient truth that the Baby Boomers who were born en mass 75 years ago are starting to die en mass from the usual suspects of seasonal Flu/Pneumonia and old age. The MASK of he Beast is a pretext for the FINAL SOLUTION vaccine.
      Jesus loved all races because there is only one race, The HUMAN RACE with only one minority the INDIVIDUAL HUMAN.

    The domestication of horses is very important to civil history. If you know anything about linguistics, then the Yamnaya people expanded from the Pontic steppe on these horses that they began domesticating. After a Yamnaya-descended group of Anatolians became the Hittites, the near Eastern empires around them adopted their horse and chariot practices. Today, many languages we speak today, including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Persian, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali and Marathi all derive from the Yamnaya language spoken 6000 years ago.

    Interesting historical domesticate: Snails! While I don't think modern Escargot Snails are considered domesticated, there is archeological evidence of massive Snails that gained that size by being bred and cultivated as food by Greeks in ancient times.

Greek was also spoken from Egypt to india and around Uzbekistan until the rise of islam. There are fairly ancient Greek monasteries in the mountains that have always been independent even. Most people along the Turkish coasts and in the Turkish capital of konstantiniyye (Istanbul constantinople) plus [edit: with] a large minority (like 30%) in Asia minor spoke greek until WW2. Greek was also used as a liturgical language in orthodox areas and as the language of medicine and scirnce in catholic Europe sometimes. I honestly don't understand where you get this idea.

      In French it's called une dinde which is from oiseau d'Inde (Indian bird).

It may also have gotten that name before people realised that the Americas were not islands in the Indian Ocean.

Also, Yaks share a close genetic relationship with the North American bison, but many domesticated yaks are often a hybrid of wild yak and cattle. While I’m on a roll here with these fun facts; I’d like to point out that Homo sapiens are more closely related to chimpanzees, than the African elephant is to the Asian elephant.

      @@wakakabravo7998 Mostly anatolian native people. Big amount of Greek, Turkic, Arabic, Persian, mix and also uncountable amount of others (kurdish, armenian, celtic, circassian, laz, latin, gypsy...)
      To be fair in any nation there can be made list this long. Especially Turkic nations since they've conquered and migrated a lot.
      As a southwest anatolian, i consider myself as a turk becouse im living in a turkic culture and language.

      Exactly! Turks were a ton of different tribes in Asia. Anyway, he got Turkeys right. Turks were already in Turkey by then

    Goat and Sheep were domesticated on Zagros mountains on Western Iran not Turkey.
    Honey bees are also thought to be domesticated in the same area that agriculture was invented (Asian side of the middle east). The wall paintings in Egypt is much younger than the actual time they were domesticated and it is just the way Egyptians used to record things but wasnt very popular in the rest of the Middle East.

      To be fair, it is rather common knowledge that wild boars have far less extravagant tusks than warthogs.

    I heard a slightly different story for how the bird turkey got its name. I heard that the Turks sold Guinea Fowls in Europe, and Europeans sometimes called them Turkey birds because they were birds from Turkey, then when they saw what we now call Turkeys they were like "hey that looks like a Turkey bird" and called it a turkey

    How about a video on how background radiation has affected genetic diversity. We know that the background radiation was much higher millions of years ago, but how high was it during different eras(?), and how much affect would it have had?
