I would say that he still glosses over some stuff. Like the fact that Bison have been domesticated now.

Successfully bred by people yes, but domesticated no.

Also helps that they have been interbred with domesticated cattle, and we have tons of tools to do it. Good luck rounding up Bison with just primitive tools.

They round them up perfectly fine. They just forced them off cliffs instead of into fenced areas. (Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump)

[Houshalter]

That's not going to domesticate them. You need to put them into a fenced in area for long periods of time, and control the population. Selecting the ones that are the tamest around humans, and killing the ones that are the most aggressive or uncontrollable.

The indians could not have accomplished this (easily.)

[soperj]

Go on and tell me why they couldn't?
