Direct quotes from Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel: "Did all those peoples of Africa, the Americas, and Australia, despite their enormous diversity, nonetheless share some cultural obstacles to domestication not shared with Eurasian peoples?" "The answer to that question is unequivocal: No! The interpretation is refuted by five types or evidence: rapid acceptance of Eurasian domesticates by non-Eurasian peoples, the universal human penchant for keeping pets, the rapid domestication of the Ancient Fourteen, the repeated independent domestications of some of them, and the limited success on modern efforts of further domestication." For an analysis of each piece of evidence please read the chapter entitled "Zebras and Unhappy Marriages." The chapter starts on page 151 for most editions of the book.

Diamond refutes the argument that the failure to domesticate animals arose from culture difference because he argues that only a few of the animal species on Earth could be domesticated by any culture. He supports his argument with the Anna Karenina Principle. There many characteristics of a domesticable animal, and if any one of them are not met, the animal is no longer a candidate for domestication. One must take into account the animals reproduction rate, personality, panic around humans, growth rate, how much they produce to how much they consume, and many other factors. Certain animals even today cannot be domesticated, regardless of culture.
