Eurasia's main axis is east/west, whereas the main axis of the Americas is north/south. Eurasia's east/west axis meant that species domesticated in one part of Eurasia could easily spread thousands of miles at the same latitude, encountering the same day-length and climate to which they were already adapted.

Livestock adopted in Africa were Eurasian species that came in from the north. Africa's long axis, like that of the Americas, is north/south rather than east/west. Those Eurasian domestic mammals spread southward very slowly in Africa, because they had to adapt to different climate zones and different animal diseases.

And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

The East fell off. But the North, the South and the West are still there.

There was no south, there was no north, no east and no west-just the 11 apostles.

You take your team _ east, west, north, south _ because I want my team. I've got battlers. I've got skills ... depth ... size.
