Summary

The author concludes that bovines in a certain region were domesticated, and that people in the region were no longer only hunter-gatherers. The author supports this by stating that the climate was arid, that there were no other large mammals, and that any natural sources of water would have brought other mammals to the area. Since this means that there were no natural sources of water, the author concludes that the bovines had to have been domesticated.

Notable Assumptions

The author concludes that because there were no natural sources of water, the bovines had to have been domesticated. The author assumes that bovines can’t exist non-domesticated where there aren’t natural water sources. But we’re not given information about bovine behavior — maybe bovines exist on very little water. Maybe people could give the bovines water without domesticating them.
