The Domestication of Sheep

Sometime around 11,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East or Central Asia, someone figured out how they could keep wild sheep and breed them. This simple act had enormous consequences for humanity. It improved food production, revolutionized the production of clothing, and even influenced the development of writing. Fast forward over 10,000 years, and sheep are still a significant part of the economies of several nations. Learn more about the domestication of sheep and how it changed human civilization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
