Domestication and Impact

The unique characteristics of camels made them highly appealing for the population of African and Asian countries. As a result, the species were successfully domesticated. While there is no definitive information, it is clear that at least in the first century BC the camels were already domesticated. This has led to the situation where the domesticated species remained while the wild became extinct. The small population of Bactrian camels can still be found in the wild, but all the dromedaries are the descendants of the domesticated variety. The domestication has led to the integration of camels into the culture.
