[muawiyah]

American Indians never domesticated the North American bison, which is otherwise indistinguishable from the European or Asian cattle.

One reason advanced for this is that brucellosis is endemic among bison. People who attempted to live close to bison, or use them for anything but meat, ended up failing to reproduce at a sufficient rate to avoid dying out.

American Indians never domesticated the North American bison

Well the Europeans never domesticated the European Bison either.
