Follow the flock : how sheep shaped human civilization / Sally Coulthard.

Coulthard, Sally, (author.).

Summary:

A survey of the massive impact that the humble and loveable sheep has had on human history. Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes, and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth.
