  2. No wonder wolfs, even when in packs, run away from fat blokes barley able to jog And I don't think there is a coincidence that wolfs on the European continent are smaller and more skiddish than in North America either Of course they brought down the largest one if they had the choice. It would make less sense if they didn't, minding the symbolism involved.

  5.  @DanDavisHistory  Please Dan, continue to reuse that clip in future episodes when you bring up dogs I'm not author like you so I can't really put it into words how good it is. It's like an amazing piece of art.

  6. I seriously think all these Americentrist "conspiracy theories" appearing everywhere can be connected to their destroyed educational system. It's hard to use your cognitive functions, when all you've done is pick A, B or C on tests.

  7.  @isoldam  Stefan Milo has a few, but maybe not the literary genius Dan is, so there is that.

  8. I think the focus on if horses that have "taken the bit" is clouded by our own biases. Just because it's an ancient way to do it doesn't mean the first horse riders stumbled onto that technology, which is so effective that we haven't changed it for millennia. I have seen plenty of animals being ridden without having to "take the bit". Most memorable was a family in South East Asia who were riding a water buffalo with just a nose ring, one rope, and a stick. For the sake of argument, why wouldn't the first horse riders have used just a noseband as a starting point? That seems much more plausible as the first attempts to master horse riding. And it leaves no "wear and tear" record for us to find. So we have to be lucky with a burial, and not any burial but one that preserved rope. Problem is, the first horse riders would have needed time to come to that point where they bury horses with gear in a cultural sense, which takes time, and clouds things for us.
