How could it be possible they could know the difference since both are of the same structure, I mean really how could they know the camels were not domesticated and even if they were not what would make them believe the camels were not tamed to do the work man desired. Taming of wild animals is one of the first steps in domestication.Whenever an animal is domesticated, humans change the way it lives and also start to select for the characteristics they desire, and these factors result in subtle differences in the structure. Archaeologists are quite confident they can detect the difference between domesticated and wild animals of several kinds—pig, cow, chicken, horse, dog, etc.—and can even tell how far along the road to domestication a particular example has come.

I'm not an archaeologist or a biologist, so the only example which I can give you offhand is that a dog's teeth differ somewhat from a wolf's because the dog has more vegetable matter in its diet.
