Basically Poke is pointing out -- the reason Europe pulled ahead had to do with them getting start with Horses, Sheep, Chicken, Pigs.
Americas didn't get Jack except Llamas in the south Americas. Everything else was too hard to domesticate. Only Llamas didn't quite cut it though.
So not only did we have bacon and eggs -- we got a dose of the plague when those in the Americas did not. European explorers basically killed a huge portion of the Native population long before England started to colonize the eastern shores of North America.
So maybe we couldn't have done that so easy if it weren't for huge sweeps of plague. But I think North America might have been fucked anyway personally...too much factionalism. It would look like Southeast Asia at best.
