That question is like which color most contributed to Van Gogh's paintings. Fucking meaningless question.

That's a tricky one, I'd say we wouldn't have horses without cattle and wouldn't have have cattle without dogs.

Probably depends on the region. Equine in the east, canine in the west and bovine somewhere in the middle.

Definitely NOT equines. Civilisation has been set back repeatedly by nomadic hordes empowered by the horse.

I vote bovines, secondary products revolution best day of my life.

It's hard to even speculate on the effects the domestication of the wolf had on human advancement. It happened so long ago.

The more recent domestication of herd animals, however, changing humans from wandering hunter-gatherers to villagers is so profound that it's a hard act to beat.
