Technically, perhaps, but maybe it takes more time than a low-tech society can afford. That's close enough to untameable for practical purposes.

- darkerside 3y agoWhy could a low tech society not afford time?
- lmm 3y agoA low tech society may not have the surplus to run a wild animal breeding programme for multiple generations without interruption.
- andrewflnr 3y agoYes, thank you, that's more precisely put.
- darkerside 3y agoI think in this theory, it wouldn't be a program so much as it is people leaving scraps behind, animals learning that humans are a beneficial food source, and a symbiotic relationship naturally developing over time (measured in centuries).
- lmm 3y agoThat's very much an example of having the animal become tameable before breeding them in captivity.
