Kwi-XVI, iihagu zokuqala ze-guinea zaziswa eYurophu. Ngokukhawuleza bathe baziwa, baza baqalisa ukwahlukanisa njengezilwanyana ezifuywayo. Kwangexesha elide iibinki zeginea zazibiza kakhulu, kwaye abantu abazityebi kuphela babengathenga le silwanyana. Ngokuhamba kwexesha, iintlobo ezininzi zeengqayi ze-guinea zobukhulu obuhlukeneyo, umbala, kwaye zahluke ngobude beboya. Nangona kunjalo namhlanje akukho mntu uyamangalisa le silwanyana, ngokuba ezininzi zihlala ziyimfihlakalo ukuba kutheni ihagu ze-guinea ezibizwa ngokuba yi-piginea pigs, apho abantu baye bazincoma khona izilwanyana, kwaye kutheni ihagu ye-porinea, kunye nehagu yolwandle? Impendulo yale mibuzo ifunyanwa kwimbali yokunqoba kweMerika ngabahamba ngeenqanawa zaseSpain, kunye nakwiimbali zezizwe zakudala zaseNdiya.
Ukuzaliswa kweehagu ze-guinea kwaqala ngo-7 000 BC. kwintsimi yeCentral neSouth America. Yaye la majelo abizwa ngokuthi i-aperea okanye i-kui. Kwindalo, ukuzaliswa kweengulube ze-guinea kwenzeka rhoqo unyaka wonke, ukukhulelwa kuthatha ubuncinane ngaphezu kweenyanga ezi-2 nangemva kweeyure ezingama-13 ukuya kwe-14 emva kokuba kuhanjiswe ihagu iphinde ilungele ukuvelisa. Ngenxa yoko, amaNdiya aphakamisa iibhabhane zeginea njengezilwanyana zasefama, eyona nto yayisisiseko somzimba, kunye nezilwanyana ezazisetyenziselwa ukuhlawulela kunye neminye imikhuba. Kwaye ngexesha lethu, abemi bamazwe athile badla iibinki ze-Guinea, kwaye i-Peruvians kule njongo iye yakhupha i-piginea pigs, efikelela kuma-2.5 kg.
Ulwazi malunga neengulube ze-guinea lufumaneka kwiirekhodi zabaseSpain abafika emanxweme eMzantsi Melika. Xa bebonile ezi zilwanyana okokuqala, zazikhunjuzwa ngeengulube zobisi. Le ngenye yeenguqu kuba kutheni ingulube ye-guinea ingulube. Ukongeza, ihagu yazaliswa ngokutya, kunye neYurophu yeehagu eziqhelekileyo. Kukho izizathu ezininzi zokuba kutheni ihagu ye-Guinea ibhokhwe. Okokuqala, xa isilwanyana sinenkxalabo, okanye ngokungafaniyo, sinelisekile, ivelisa izandi ezifana ne-squealing okanye pohryukivanie. Kwaye okwesibini, iindawo ezingezantsi zeengalo zehagu zifana neenqanaba ezibunjwa. Ngokuqinisekileyo, ezi ngulube zibizwa ngokuba yi-spaniards ngabaSpain, abazisayo eYurophu, njengoko eli gama lisasazeka kuwo onke amazwe. Kodwa ulwandle babizwa kuphela eJamani naseRashiya. Kukholelwa ukuba babebizwa ngokuba yi-overseas, njengokuba bahanjiswa kula mazwe ulwandle. Ngexesha elide, igama lalingenalula, kwaye babizwa ngokuba yizilwandle.
Ukuthandwa okwenziwe yiihagu zeginea namhlanje kuya kuchazwa ngamanani amaninzi. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba isini, ihagu zeeginea zihlambuluke ngokwaneleyo, zingathobeki ekunyamekeleni, zihlala zihlala zodwa kunye ngamaqela. Ukuziphatha kweengulube ze-guinea kulungelelaniso olukhethekileyo-banobubele, bathandekayo, banentlalontle, kwaye banqatshelwe. Imiba xa ihagu yeginea ibetha kakhulu. Ngokuqhelekileyo bayabaleka, okanye bazame ukufihla. Kwezinye iimeko, xa amadoda ekhusela ukuphakama kwawo, angaluma umlingani wabo, kodwa kulo mzekelo ukuluma kuya kubonisa ngakumbi kwaye akuyingozi kumdlali. Ukuba izilwanyana ezininzi zicwangciswe, kubalulekile ukwazi indlela yokujonga ngesondo seginea. Ubundlobongela bebhinqa yeginea lugqityiwe ukusuka kumgama phakathi kwezesondo kunye nezivulo ezivulekileyo. Kwindoda, oku
