But don't even think about making it seem like an insubstantial jump either. The larger kingdoms of South America would have benefited from iron weaponry just as much as the North Americans would have (no matter what you say, Chaz. History has shown again and again that we humans take any advantage we can get in war) if not even more, so why didn't they? Perhaps they did not have the facilities or knowledge to make mass production of such tools and weapons viable.

Regardless, this has no impact on the true point: the fact that, again according to biological facts, zebras are poor choices for mass use as mounts. Wild corn likely made a poor food source, before hundreds of years of selective breeding.
