But what if we spent longer time doing it? Like centuries, like with most other domesticated animals.

This makes me wonder… How much of what he says is just conjecture? Do we ACTUALLY know with good certainty that zebras can’t be domesticated due to their nature? Or is it just a hypothesis/theory that has reached widespread popularity?
I have heard that zebras (along with other African animals) can’t be domesticated because they have evolved to live among humans, when we were still man-apes. But that maybe that’s just conjecture too.
Note how he have no sources in his video or description. And his comparison to chickens, cows, sheep and cats don’t seem to make much sense. The relation between humans and chickens/cows/sheep is markedly different from that of horses. Do wild fowl really have family structures? Cats don’t yet they are still docile among humans.
Edit: even if we really can’t do we know the reason why?
I honestly wonder if we actually COULD domesticate zebras but it would taking centuries or millennia. Just like other domesticated species.



Ehhh… Can you really call wolves friendly?
