69:7.1 To start with, the entire [[animal]] world was man's enemy; [[human beings]] had to [[learn]] to [[protect]] themselves from the [[beasts]]. First, man ate the animals but later learned to [[domesticate]] and make them serve him.
69:7.2 The [[domestication]] of [[animals]] came about [[accidentally]]. The savage would [[hunt]] herds much as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans American Indians] [[hunted]] the [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bison bison]. By [[surrounding]] the herd they could keep [[control]] of the [[animals]], thus being able to kill them as they were required for [[food]]. Later, corrals were constructed, and entire herds would be captured.
69:7.3 It was easy to tame some [[animals]], but like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant elephant], many of them would not [[reproduce]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captivity_%28animal%29 captivity]. Still further on it was [[discovered]] that certain [[species]] of [[animals]] would submit to man's [[presence]], and that they would [[reproduce]] in captivity. The [[domestication]] of [[animals]] was thus promoted by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_breeding selective breeding], an art which has made great [[progress]] since the days of [[Dalamatia]].
69:7.4 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog] was the first [[animal]] to be [[domesticated]], and the [[difficult]] [[experience]] of taming it began when a certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog], after following a [[hunter]] around all day, actually went [[home]] with him. For ages dogs were used for [[food]], [[hunting]], [[transportation]], and companionship. At first dogs only howled, but later on they learned to bark. The dog's keen [[Senses|sense]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch smell] led to the notion it could see [[spirits]], and thus arose the dog-[[fetish]] [[cults]]. The employment of watchdogs made it first possible for the whole [[clan]] to [[sleep]] at [[night]]. It then became the [[custom]] to employ watchdogs to [[protect]] the [[home]] against [[spirits]] as well as [[material]] enemies. When the dog barked, man or beast approached, but when the dog howled, spirits were near. Even now many still [[believe]] that a dog's howling at [[night]] betokens [[death]].
69:7.5 When man was a [[hunter]], he was fairly kind to [[woman]], but after the [[domestication]] of [[animals]], coupled with the [[Caligastia]] [[confusion]], many [[tribes]] shamefully treated their [[women]]. They treated them altogether too much as they treated their [[animals]]. Man's brutal treatment of [[woman]] [[constitutes]] one of the [[darkest]] chapters of [[human]] [[history]].
