Question

Animal was not domesticated in indus valley civilisation

Answer 1

Answer:

They didn't had any primary role in domestication...

Explanation:

Indus Valley or Mesopotamia or Egyptian Civilisations , the first cradles of humankind, were the Bronze Age civilisations which flourished around 4th to 2nd millennium BCE [ 6000 years before the Present] .

Now, if one takes the domestication of animals, Dog was the first animal in the human history to have been domesticated and scientists postulate that the most friendly wolves evolved into Dogs around 13,000 BCE , i.e., about 15000 years back

So, to simply state, the first domestication of animal predates the Bronze Age civilisations by 9000 years.

Further, animals like Goat, Sheep,Cat, Pig, some species of Cattle… have acquired their modern anatomy in between 10000BCE –8000 BCE, long before the dawn of Bronze Age.

Though, there are some animals that were acquiring their present form during the Bronze Age Civilisations like Water Buffalo in India, Silk Worm in China, Pigeons in Mediterranean.

And still ,there re some animals which evolved later , like Horses around 3000 BCE, Llamas in 2000 BCE , long after the Bronze Age .

And it is important to remember that the domesticated animals were one of the paramount reasons [ after the agricultural revolution ] for the humans to transform their nomadic lifestyle ; from hunter-gatherer nomads to agriculturalists , who formed the 1st village communities like Mehrgarh - Wikipedia that later evolved into the great Bronze Age civilisations.

So , no, the Indus Valley Civilisation nor did the Mesopotamian nor did the Egyptian Civilisation had any primary superlative role in the domestication of animals.
