You're being modest. There's *Lots* of things you don't know,
and you make that clear most every day.

of course jungle has higher diversity, it isn't the problem in diversity.

Actually, it is. Because the most common result of heavy
"Natural" pressures is extinction. A population has to have
the genetic capacity -- diversity -- to change, adapt. If
it lacks it, which in the vast majority of cases it does,
it goes extinct.

It is the problem that I have hard time to find in Euroasia wild animals that we have in savanna.

So?

They are all domesticated.

What happened, and continues to happen today is that domesticated
pigs escape, go feral, and breed with the wild boars. This does
not stop. It's a slow trickle (sometimes a very fast trickle) of
DNA from the domesticated pig over time. It's not an all at once
replacement, or it wasn't, but it was a replacement of sorts.

Compare zebras to horses. In Asia even elephants are domesticated.

Now you're getting into the arguments of racists. Well the truth
is that African elephants tend to be more aggressive than Eurasian,
harder to tame. I've read it claimed that Mammoths were likely as
aggressive as African elephants, at least the males. Which may
be why they were never domesticated.
