Answer 1

We tendes to domesticate creatures that are easy and offer a good yield.

Herd animals are easier to manage, we also needed to sustain them in captivity.

It’s why we domesticated dogs, rather than bears, or chickens instead of elephants. If we wanted deer meat we could hunt them, but you would not want to forage for wild chicken eggs, or milk goats in the wild, so it’s easier to bring them inside.
