Ridpath's history of the world; being an account of the ethnic origin, primitive estate, early migrations, social conditions and present promise of the principal families of men .. . place, but very little attachmentto human beings. The dog, onthe contrary, attaches himself tohis master, and not to any partic-ular place.

It seems that the goat hasmuch of this same instinct; andfor this reason, doubtless, theprehistoric barbarians of WesternEurope held the goat almost always indomestication. Though sheep weredomesticated and used for both theirflesh and their fleeces, they werenevertheless wild animals rather thantame. The same classification must be ap-plied to the primitive cattle. It appearsthat in some places kine were at least partly domesticated, but, as a rule, theyran wild. This may be said also of theswine of the prehistoric Many beastsage.
