This dimension groups livestock by the era in which they were first domesticated. Wikipedia notes that "the earliest domestication of vertebrates" was "the domestication of dogs from wolves," at least "15,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene," with other species following over many later periods. Browsing by domestication era lets a visitor compare livestock first raised in the same period.
