es of the past. Without their previous efforts to domesticate animals such as dogs, livestock, and bulk-carriers (horses, bulls, and elks), these types of productivities would no exist. The earliest organized groups were gatherers and hunters who had to travel in search for food. They followed herds of wild animals, gathering vegetation during the trip until a capture.
The domestication of animals for the use of food was a major development along the road to civilization for two important reasons:
· It provided a surplus of food, a significant factor in that it represents the first time that people did not have to exert all their energy to find enough food just to survive.
· It incorporated a greater stability of life in that it allowed nomadic groups to continue to wander but also to develop a more sedentary lifestyle.
From the domestication of animals humans received an advantageous benefit of using animals in productivity and as resources.

Productivity & Resources from Domestication
In the domestication of stronger animals, they could assist with heavy equipment in field labor. The animals helped in the contribution of improving and integrated farming systems on cropped land. Working animals provided a beneficial alternative to hard labor in farming:
· Animal power was used for extracting water from the ground and from rivers for domestic use and for irrigation.
· Transportation of natural resources and farm products to other communities for barter or sale.
Domesticated animals also produce humans with living essentials such as:
· Fat and protein for improved nutrition.
· Milk enables infants to survive and grow when quantities of human milk are insufficient.
· Animals provide leather, wool and horn for clothing and shelter.
· Animal byproducts can be used for energy.
Domesticated animals were benefits for humans and some of these animals continue to be of great use to us.
