  1. Aliens and Animals Your assignment…

  2. A Side Step:Totally Believable Scenario You are a part of an early food producing society. You have domesticated enough plant species to complete a food package sufficient for the needs of your people. You now have turned your attention domesticating animals. All of sudden a spaceship drops from the sky and Gloraxionixixix the benevolent space alien from the planet Florp 14 emerges with a deal for you. He is impressed with your ability to domesticate plants and transition from hunting and gathering to the more “civilized” mode of food production. He wants to reward you by allowing you to choose 3 of the animals from the list of 14 on for immediate domestication. However, there are some rules….

  3. The Rules • You must choose at least one animal from both the “major” and “minor” category. • You must choose one of the early food producing regions and pick animals that would survive/thrive there. • You must give Gloraxionixixix a reason for your choices. • If you try to choose more than 3 animals, break the rules on this page, or question the deal that Gloraxionixixix is offering you, he will immediately vaporize you with his Bloronifier and then eat your family with some space steak sauce he’s been dying to try ever since he picked some up at the intergalactic food market on Xebularian 12.

  4. List of Animals Major Mammals – more widespread Minor Mammals – less widespread • Sheep – wild ancestor located in West & Central Asia • Goat – wild ancestor located in West Asia. • Cow (ox or cattle) – wild ancestor Eurasia and North Africa • Pig- wild ancestor (boar) found in Eurasia & North Africa.
