- Just like our livestock, the animals we choose to bring into our homes and families all have stories of their own, reaching back thousands of years and spanning almost every continent. Join me as I explore the origins of all of our best friends!
Be sure to watch out for two special pet cameos, first one is mine, the second one is another youtuber's.

'Humans and cats just learned to tolerate each other'
Sounds about right.
I found my cat in a dumpster when it still needed to be with its mother, I nursed it and to this day we are inseparable. Probably thinks I'm his mother.
Daddy Slimcock science actually shows that cats think more on the Same brainwaves as humans do compared to what humans and dogs do.
Professor Cakes No wonder my roommates cats and I always have starting contests
Misan7hrope I would like your comment, but there is 420 likes

actually, India is an English word if you want to write in Hindi it will better if use भारत (Bharat)
"Cats domesticated themselves."
If there is any species that one would expect to do so, it's cats.
lol, well they're not even fully domesticated because they don't have to depend on humans for survival. Anyone living in a city or town will attest to it.
arguably humans also self-domesticated. :3
Like how crows started to live in cities?
"Cats domesticated YOU"
Humans were domesticated by wheat
In my farmhouse, I had adopted my pet dog myself, but my pet cat just moved in by itself one day and started living with my dog, eating from its food bowl. I don't doubt that cats domesticated themselves.
"Cats domesticated themselves"
Sounds like something cats would do
I thought he was going to say that cats actually domesticated _us_, which also seems plausible. :D
@@antred11 : Naw, we did that. Mostly with spears & arrows apparently.
Cats always have to think it's their idea.
Fuck you
Edit: freak you
my cat is still trying to domesticate me. but so far has failed
I love how you get more and more passive-aggressive throughout the video
lol
It's more dry sarcasm. My favourite kind of humour
I love him for that.
@Bountiful Baboon wow ur so edgy and cool
@Bountiful Baboon Are you always this salty :)
“Humans didn’t domesticate cats, but rather cats domesticated themselves”
Yeah, that sounds right.
When you think about falconry is literally the human as an aircraft carrier catapulting a hawk as a fighter jet
Sounds cool as shit
but but jets dont bring victims back to the carrier
Not really but ok
no
ummmm no... you are overthinking it. the human harbors the hawk and in return the hawk kills shit for the human and brings it to the human.
Humans: "Dogs, you work for us now."
Dogs: "Okay, boss."
Cats: "We work here now too."
Humans: "Cats? We don't remember letting you work here."
Cats: "We don't remember asking your permission."
Human: Your lucky cows taste better
Cats: "work? you work for us."
👹👹👹
You make my day man with your comment 😂😂😂
Dogs see humans produce food for them out of nowhere, manage to keep their habitat dry and warm, and somehow manage to keep them healthy and flealess, so t dog says "Humans must be gods.
Cats see humans do all those things for them, and cats say "I must be a god."
7:24 Imagine being a fish that does nothing but eat all day, never knowing you cost $10,000 or are special at all.
goals tbh
I used to have a koi carp that came with my flat. It disappeared and we think it might have been stolen by a neighbour.
@@roryscott1534 Maybe it just went by itself, I know cats sometimes do that, they just choose a new house and move in
Just think about that the next time you think you're worthless.
@@trezapoioiuy I would've loved seeing a fish flop out of its tank and and just up n leave
There's another very practical reason dogs and cats became our prime companions. They don't shit
where they sleep. Cats bury their waste, and dogs can be trained to go outside.
I never considered that! Very interesting
Ants have specific areas for trash and waste.
And so do ferrets, who use litter boxes, too. Bunnies and guinea pigs use litter boxes for peeing, although they poop where ever they walk.
Our fancy rats live in open habitats and use the same spot for the bathroom. Rats are very clean and sociable. We often wake up to a cat on our pillows and a rat or two under the covers. No mess at all. So far they all get along fine.
Incidentally, cat litter only dates from 1947, which is when most cats stopped having to go on the porch to do their business. The man responsible was Ed Lowe who became a multimillionaire.
Rodents in human villages: exist
Cats: *aight ima head in*
Thus the cats in Minecraft villages is born
"And now for the opposite of fish - birds."
Ah yes, the fish-bird spectrum. Very true. :D
You either fly or swim.
Unless you're some of those ducks or flying fish rebels that want to do both.
You know that one famous optical illusion picture where at first, it looks like a bunch of birds flying OR a bunch of fish, and then you look at it different and it changes into the other one?
Now I'm thinking of that. :P
Flying Fish!!??
Johnnyoity, most humans lie closer to birds, but Olympic swimmers are on the same level as axolotls.
Fish are really quite close to convergently evolving flight. . . Its happened to mammalia, avia, insecta and reptilia. . . Just a matter of time, dougal dixon saw that shit coming a mile away. . .
I can't believe you forgot the best pet: pet rocks
I believe Patrick domesticated them back in bikini bottom
I really wanted to know the origin and range of domestic rocks
Yes, but they're so hard to find...
Aidan Camacho or plants!
Really more of a cultural fad
Fun fact: one tarantula species lets frogs live with it
WHICH ONE!?!?!?
To eat all the lil bugs the spider is too big to get. I wonder if they like hanging around with each other
Mabye? Probably not as I don't think they have the brains for complex emotions
@@blon.djukey9956 they don't have emotions, but they still do it.
There are also a species of hermit crab that live with other ocean bugs and fish in their burrow to keep it clean.

I've had some of my most interesting swahili conversations with african elephants
I find Hindi speaking elephants more eloquent.
@ravi sanchez obviously he speaks it, otherwise how would he even be able to make basic conversation with the elephants?
I’m from Tanzania but my elephant speaks French
@ravi sanchez
But they are typing English, presumably to other English speakers. Therefore, they would use the English word, "Swahili". If a French person was talking about their language to English people, they would call it "French", not "Francais".
@@cometmoon4485 He is referring to 'Ki' in Kiswahili you but Ki infront to signify you are talking about a language...Swahili for the most parts refers to the people..like in Kiswahili France is 'Ufaransa' and the language 'Kifaransa'
It quite petty but ooh well he is not wrong either...
"Pets predate pottery."
No wonder cats hate bottles, they think they're the competition.
Hard logic.
Tbf, dogs predate pottery, not cats
It makes sense for nature to predate what's manmade. Especially food, plants, and animals.
Shout out to our Altiac grandparents who hung around with wolves and eagles.
Yo they sound pretty cool
My grandfather was obsessed with raising pigeons and I remember going to a homing pigeon convention with him when I was little.
Wolves: Human we must hunt together if we want to survive
Human: Okay deal
Cats: Ay yooo wassup, so I'm just going to move in and eat your rats is that cool?
Human: I mean I guess?
Cats: Aight cause I already brought some furniture and my brother Tom
EXACTLY how this fucking happened. Also how the mow got it's an Egyptian saw it and said "Dude you look fucking weird what's your name?" the cat stares back and goes "MOW!"😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly why cats thrive in my neighborhood but not dogs
Oh my GOD. This is the funniest comment I have seen in a VERY VERY long time.
Jerry and his fellow rodents; *Allow us to introduce ourselves, Tom and your fellow cats*
I died from smile😂😂😂
Lol cats not even being domesticated and just instead tolerating our presence is the most cat thing I have ever heard. What a mood.
What do you mean? My cat loves me. Well, that is what he says....when he wants something.
Such a bruh moment
Indeed. That is what makes cats 100% better pets than dogs. They're cool like that.
I can respect them, and they respect me. No slobbery tongues and brainwashed to love you attitudes.
And dogs were created by God to free us from cat's oppression
@@NatureShy dogs are not "brainwashed to love you" they consider us the same way that cats do - as weird family - they just have completely different social behaviours and body language where dogs go around play-fighting the entire world through their whole lives while cats are a lot more casually-chill-together-in-our-spare-time types
No one:
Dogs to humans thousands of years ago: Hey you wanna be friends?
The cat answers :
Sounds good. Now both of you could be my pet, then proceed to join the party

"Only found in India, Southeast Asia and parts of Indonesia"
Wait, Indonesia is part of Southeast Asia, right?
This youtuber consider Indonesia as part of Oceania. A fucking weirdo.

I'd like to see the geography of alcohol, just where it's been invented and maybe a quick show of where the fruits they used come from
I am pretty sure that winery started in Georgia (country, not state), but I don't know if that was the first alcoholic beverage to be made in history
Who first cultivated grain? Those are pretty likely to also have been the first to discover alcohol (e.g. beer originates in ancient bronze time egypt)
yes plss
@@guiorgy Georgia is one of the first ones to make wine, but you can't pinpoint it to one place. A lot of people, independent of each other, invented alcohol holding drinks.

Yeah but Atlas is better, because he doesn't sell out in every single fucking video.
"This video was made possible-" fuck off, it was sponsored, you could of done it without the couple extra dollars.
@@Ruddpocalypse Chill out bro, you don't even have to watch that part.
I never really thought before about the weird dichotomy between humans relying heavily on the refined senses and instincts of wolves to the point that they became our hunting partners and friends (dogs), then later vilifying wolves as tricky, dangerous predators of small children. Indeed, we probably utilized domesticated wolves a lot to warn us of and help us to fend off their wild cousins.

I was getting my food in wrong, when he said that, ahhahaha! As I'm from Greenland.
And felt a bit sorry when he didn't mention the arctic peregrine falcon that was exported from Greenland by the norse people in the middle ages, and sold or given as gifts between kings...
Bearded dragons are the most popular reptile to anyone that did any research. But they didn't really get domesticated until like the 1970s.
It's so cool how humans and animals created a beautiful bond and coexist together in the same home/environment.
*Humans started farming*
*Rodents found new sourcs of food*
Cats: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Humans: Mhm, you're usefull. Heck you seem to like even our fish scraps.
Cats: Yes it's the first time we tasted fish but it's is lovely.
Humans: Oke then, don't bother us, the dogs or eat our cattle. You can take the rodents and we also leave old fish out for you guys. Deal?
Cats: DEAL!
Humans during the 1800s: Ah so sad... Wanna live inside the house with us like the dogs do?
Dogs: (Don't do such betrayal only we dogs are allowed and our caged friends)

I like how you used alimals' skin patterns to mark areas on the map of where they come from. Clever idea. Great video.
Probably couldn't do the same with human ethnic groups and their skin
@@ungratefulmango migration boi
@@ungratefulmango our skin is so similar what's the point
He had to skin animals to do that.
You think that's crazy, in black mirror a guy fucks a pig.
as a tarantula, snake and (sadly former) mouse owner i was very happy that the video kept going after the more common pets :)
Did I think I was going to come here and hear him joke about something that I actually knew about someone being crazy enough to do? Not really. Was that about someone I knew of getting a tarantula drunk? Unfortunately, yes.
There was an old drunk who was friends with my uncle (also an old drunk, lol). He was telling me about how he used to keep tarantulas to ... pollinate his pot plants maybe? It's been a long time. Maybe it was to scare people away from messing with them when he wasn't home, I forget, but they were inside plants.
He was telling me something about how he would put alcohol (or beer?) in his mouth, then put the spider in his mouth. I asked him why, and in a voice that seemed to imply this was the most self-explanatory thing in the world, he said "How else would I get them drunk?".
Probably just awful for the poor little guys, but this was the 70s and in an area where even now the education is just horrendously bad, so I'm sure the dude thought he was showing his little buddies a good time. And despite me knowing this was probably bad for them in retrospect, when faced with this absurd tale, with its sudden and absurd conclusion, I would be lying if I said that I didn't lmao.
(I know this is only tangentially related to your comment, but i have to share this story anytime I get the opportunity, so here it is, lol.

11:45 This reminds me of a story my 5th-grade teacher told us when she has 2 class pet hampsters that she brought home once, went downstairs to check on, and found one eating the decapitated body of the other
"Humans and cats learned to cohabitate and tolerate each other."
So it's pretty much business as usual in cat world?
Nate 23 Yep. They made us open our doors for them.
People don't own cats...Cats own people.
It’s true. I abide by my cats bedtime and don’t do much after like 10 as to not disturb her sleep.
I watched a documentary about pet-keeping in the animal kingdom, and there have been a few instances where animals have kept other animals as a sort of "pet." These cases have nearly all occurred either in captivity or in part because of a surplus of available food. Animals that don't have to worry about finding food are far more likely to exhibit interspecies companionship, including a chimp caring for a dog, and a cat caring for duckings as if they were kittens.
Yep my favorite example of this is the curious case of the tarantula who keeps a toad as a companion to eat the smaller insects and such that would go after the tarantulas eggs. When in danger the tarantula will move it's body over the toad or allow it to jump under it. What's more they did experiments to see if they recognized the toad by taking skin samples from their toads and attaching them to ones they would normally eat. While they initially went after them as normal once they got close they immediately backed off.
I used to work in a pet store and can confirm that hamsters are absolutely brutal with each other. Heads detached, skulls caved in, scars everywhere. If they aren't sold when they're young (they normally are do it isn't a huge deal) they absolutely want to be the only thing living in their cage and are very good at making it so.
This is your funniest video. The serious tone of your voice goes hilariously well with droll references to your opinions or references to your childhood. More of that kind of thing in future videos please!
I don't know if any one has already mentioned that, but the word "Spain" ("España" in Spanish) derives from the latin word "Hispania", the romanized version of the carthaginian word "Isaphan", which means "The land of rabbits".
I met an elephant the other day and your tip really helped me, thanks
Wait! You saw the video before it got released?
Glad to meet you. You wrote a good script. xD
@@GauravSingh-qi9xj yeah, he lives a few time zones ahead of us
But did you need to speak Swahili or Hindi?

great video and the message of adopting pets from a shelter is so important.

Fantastic video! Great info and very well edited and put together. Thank you for your effort!
"...African elephants usually speak Swahili..."
Ok, I am digging your sense of humor. Subscribed.
Lol, I thought the same thing with hamster purge.
This person does indeed have a good sense of humor
Yeah, as a native speaker, the swahili joke was a welcome surprise
If the "elephant" is speaking Zulu, it must be an imposter. Bald mastodon I'd say. 😋 🐘
Also the cheddar and pretzel gold fish
Piss off, the true sky rats are the seagulls in my very much inland town, over Burger King.
Most towns are near a lake or a river. Most gulls aren't actually literally named seagulls, there are various gulls, its a group of birds that all look and act similarly.
Also there are wayyy more at the ocean.
@@Hashishin13 The California Seagull is actually the state bird where i live ..and they are everywhere. i live in an inland state.
Oh wow, Utah's state bird is a seagull. That's kinda gross
@@ungratefulmango There is a whole mythology around them.
Mythology : generally dumb any way
I liked and subscribed because of the humor and the closing pitch for shelter pets. Thank you!
This was both informative and hilarious. I love your deadpan delivery!
We used to own pet Rats when I was little.
Actual pets, not just random rats we caught from the wild
I had mice and aren't they just the sweetest things? I imagine that they're similar.
I used to keep rats few months back, they sadly passed away from old age :( since they werent mentioned, rats come from Mongolia originally and spread through ships. The domestic ones come from victorian England :)
The fancy rat, the domesticated version of the brown rat.
So did Ron and look what happened to him xD seriously though, eats and mice are so cute, the only reason I don't get any is that they live so little and I don't want to cry my eyes out on two years...
MadHatt3r Yeah, he also forgot to mention the history of Elephants being used for war. The video felt a bit rushed after the dog part which was super in depth and interesting.
"No other animal takes other animals into their homes"
There is a species of tarantula that keeps pet toads.
The important part is "just to kinda hang out with." Tarantulas use those ftogs to protect their eggs from smaller arthropods and other pests.
Hmm, so toads are kind of like the Tarantula version of cats
There are also baboons that kidnap and raise feral dogs.

It is interesting that you say the "Chilean rose" is the most common tarantula. It is the tarantula used most in movies. The Chilean rose is also described by two separate species and multiple color forms.
Sugar Gliders are actually not flying squirrels, but are marsupials, specifically a type of Australian possum.
They're not related to possums, they are possums.

3:43 Cats domesticated themselves, another proof that cats think only about themselves. Haha
Haha
The Hassler I didn’t expect anything less from cats 😂😂
In truth the cats domesticated us humans
Why not care about yourself?
Cats came from another planet to steal out rotation but they were spoiled and lost their intelligence
My cat allows me to live with him. He even lets me feed him and allows me to use a laptop on occasions.
FYI: When introducing hedgehogs at 12:16, you actually show a hedgehog *tenrec*, which is an entirely unrelated mammal from Madagascar that arose from convergent evolution. Additionally, when describing the African Pygmy Hedgehog, you showed a European hedgehog. Most modern pet hedgehogs are African Pygmies, but with a bit more research, you might find the original domestic hedgehogs to be a different species. I anticipate the first domesticated hedgehogs were Indian hedgehogs, which were kept by the ancient Persians at least as far back as 4000 BC, and venerated as a sacred animal in Zoroastrianism.
Theres a number of errors in this video and I am not an expert, but even my limited knowledge raised my eyebrows a few times. haha

One of my grandparents was a veterinarian. So during my childhood, my family had a wonderful string of temporary pets. Everything from cats and dogs to bear cubs, bobcats, and ferrets.

When you actually stop to think about the process of domestication you'll realise that humans didn't domesticate wolves(dogs), wolves(dogs) domesticated humans.
Gerbils!! You didn't mention gerbils. Yes, they're a type of rat, and I raised them as pets decades ago. Hilarious (as well as informative) video, BTW. Love your sense of humor!
Thank you for a very entertaining video! Just 3 little comments:
1. You probably already know this, but for others who may not: sugar gliders aren't flying squirrels. They are marsupials that convergently evolved gliding.
2. Elephants are tough to classify. I wouldn't call them domesticated like livestock, but rather tamed, because they're very hard to breed in captivity. I once heard the saying that if it's on a farm, it's domesticated, but if it's in a circus, it's tamed. (Except for horses, of course).
3. As for reptiles, I'm surprised you didn't include bearded dragons. They're amazing little critters who can be very affectionate toward their owners, which is unusual for reptiles.
Anyway, thanks again for everything, and I'm looking forward to the next video!
5:20 "If the name didn't give it away, the wild you rope e-ant polecat came from..."
Yes, the Poles.
Its called a pole cat because it looks like a noodle, not because its polish.
@@Hashishin13 r/wooosh
For the interested people, ferrets are called pole *cats* because they were domesticated not only for hunting bunnies, but also to hunt rodents that were eating our crops, trying to recreate what cats did in other regions.

14:36 “and these people would rather keep turtles as pets”

nah that was a turtle pretending to be a tortoise
Tortoises are turtles; they're terrestrial turtles (order Testudinata) in the family Testudinidae. Red-eared sliders are pond turtles (family Emydidae).
@@PlainsPup But its better to call them tortoises, because if you tell some people they are turtles they will throw them in rivers, as someone who likes tortoises I would rather prevent the accidental mass homicide of my shelled friends.
@@chunkymonky4433 That's true. Sadly, I have heard of that happening, too. Tortoises really are the most terrestrial turtles, but for the uninformed, if they hear the word "turtle," they think "aquatic." Very unfortunate.

True story - I had a friend in Denver who had a pet ocelot. He used to tell visitors' "Do not pet the cat". I spoke to one such fellow who did not take the advice, and I asked him how it went. He showed me a picture of his arm, and said; "Bloody hell"... 😮
Yeah, not something to be proud of. That ocelot was certainly ripped away from its habitat and members of its own species.
@@strange.personYep. Leave the wild animals to the wild. Domesticated cats are perfect. There’s no reason to get a wild cat.

Life lesson for animals: If you want to survive being a snack, be cute.
Not pigeons tho
Sadly that does not stop people from eating dogs in certain parts of the world. Bunch of monsters. Dogs are for petting not eating.
Yeah but most people don't eat tarantulas, lizards, or snakes, or goldfish. None of which are cute.

@Dr. Spog Zallagi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's because hunting is _exciting_
So afterall. It is entirely true and factually correct to state: "The humans best friend is the dog"
Also the different ways of domestication show in the way we have bred our pets.
Dogs for thousands of years are purpose bred (or were) and thus we have such great variety of dog breeds (Sheperd Dogs, Protection dogs, etc.) meanwhile cats and humans just saw the benefit of each other and, because cats already did already the thing we humans wanted them to do (for us) hunting rodents and pests, we let them do their own thing for the most part.
Also I never knew that rabbits and ferrets are entirely of European origin...Both cute and, incase of Ferrets, super weird yet interesting :D

15:09 i love this part! i adopted two of my dogs and they are so great! they have the silliest personalities and way less health issues then the ones that were bought. i really think adopting is the best way to find a silly friend.
"*At the time* the guinea pig was domesticated as livestock" laughs in Peruvian cuisine
I need to know what ones are acceptable to eat where?
this is too ominous
The alien in your backyard Flash News Report: Apparently cats are eating everywhere in the world now. They're managing to stay alive somehow. Experts believe it's thorugh digestion and metabolism. Stay tunned, we'll keep you updated on the subject.
The alien in your backyard Cats are not eaten in Peru, lmao
@The alien in your backyard Horses are eaten in France
You forgot the most controversial pet of all. The rat. Also king of the hill for invasive species, probably cats. Good video!
where I'm from in New York, everybody keeps pet pizza rats
he called mice plural form dumb
No, king of the hill of invasive species are humans. Cats are a far of second.
Meme God True.

Sugar gliders:
The world: Aww how cute
Australians: What a sweet meal you have there
Australians do not eat sugar gliders. Have you seen the size of them? They are tiny! Kangaroos have a lot more meat on them and easier to catch.
@@binda33 you don't even need to catch, just go for a drive at night.
@@binda33 Kangaroo meat is actually really good, i really liked it when I had some.
Fun fact: Australia is one of the only countries that eats it's national animal commonly!
binda Wins it’s a snack
@@happybadger3351 Not for anyone I know, it's not, unless you mean the family cat.
You know his honesty is refreshing and makes the video more enjoyable
My girlfriend REALLY liked weird pets. In the 4 years i was living with her she had chameleons, rats, hedgehogs, bearded dragons, tarantulas, and geckos. And the only pets she had that I actually liked were the cats.
Where does hamster comes from?

“Owning a falcon is cooler than owning any fish” my arapaima gigas says screw you sir
How big is your fucking tank mate?
😂😂👍
i remember learning that hedgehogs were just like walkin around living their own UNDOMESTICATED lives out in the UK lmao i was FLABBERGASTED
Honestly the only wild hedgehogs I've ever seen were flat stinky pancakes on the road
I've actually had Hedgehogs walk in our back door and curl up near a radiator.
learning that hedgehogs can actually be widely considered to be pets is also fascinating to me haha. ive never heard of anyone keeping hedgehogs before
Video: "Flying squirrels are popular pets"
Me: Huh, I never knew that
Video: *shows a possum*
Me: ...
I will have to remember that:
The opposite of a fish is a bird...
So you’re telling me, goldfish were meant to be eaten all this time?
Nah, not enough meat for the work.
Also, goodness only knows what's in those food flakes.
Not anymore because of the awful amount of fish bones they have.
They actually fat if you put them in big pool
They used to be (carp). Rice farmers would put them in the flooded rice paddies to eat algea, then the fattened carp would be eaten when it was time to drain the pools.
Yep that is true. Where I came from Indonesia that is, carp or we called it "ikan emas" literally mean gold fish are one of the commonly eaten fish. But we don't eat koi or fancy goldfish (ikan komet or ikan koki in order to distinguish them from ordinary carp)
Love your videos. Thanks
Very nice! The video did cover the most popular pets.
I'd love to see "Where do our Dyes Come From?" at least for natural dyes.
I'm actually planning on adopting a rabbit from my local shelter today, wish me luck!! 🐰🐇🤞
How did it go?
@@fullmetaltheorist he's currently munching on some hay, he's lived with me for a year and a half, and he's such a sweet little dude.
@@juliewinkler9203 omg this is so cute😭🥺
im going to eat it
@@juliewinkler9203 They didn't actually give you a single bunny, did they? (Unless you already had bunnies he could move in with)
Has anyone ever thought that the reason why almost everyone thinks cats and dogs are cute is because we have a history with them dating thousands of years
I would love a video on the geography of the different established dog breeds, which people bred them, their original purpose etc. For example Labradors were originally bred in Newfoundland.
