- Coffee proved ideal for cultivation in the cool highlands of the Americas, not lowland rainforests, desert regions, or coastal areas.
- Guinea pigs became rare delicacies in Europe during the 1600s, not pets.
- The introduction of horses had a significant impact on the Americas, serving as essential for work, war, and transportation, and not being native to the Americas or primarily serving as pets.
