Final answer:
Llamas did not originate in the Old World; they are native to South America. Cattle, sheep, and pigs did originate in the Old World of Europe, Africa, or Asia. In the Pacific Northwest, salmon, not llamas, was a significant source of protein.
Step-by-step explanation:
Origin of Animal Species
When exploring the origins of animal species, we find a variety of animals indigenous to different parts of the world, often referred to as the 'Old World' and the 'New World'. The Old World consists of Europe, Africa, and Asia, where many domestic animals like cattle, sheep, and pigs originated. In contrast, the New World, which is made up of the Americas, is where some other species evolved separately.
In the context of your question from Section 3.2.3, page 77 and Exercise 3.1.1, the answer to which animal did not originate in the Old World of Europe, Africa, or Asia is llamas. Llamas are native to South America and were domesticated by the peoples of the Andes. On the other hand, cattle, another option given, are indeed native to the Old World.
When considering the source of protein for inhabitants of a particular region, such as the Pacific Northwest, we look at what species were available and commonly consumed there. For the people of the Pacific Northwest, salmon was an important source of protein, unlike llamas which were not indigenous to that area.
