It's a National Geographic film "Guns, Germs and Steel" based on Jared
Diamond's book.

I stayed up last night and watched the first two discs of the six part
series - it's a little slow in parts and the questions and answers are
as obvious as the nose on your face (there aren't any great
revelations), but there is some interesting anthropology in term of
geography.

One little nugget among many was this - there are 140 mammals that
could possibly be domesticated as beasts of burden or raised as food.

Of those 140, only 11 are actually domesticated.

Does that number include husbands?
