Genome-wide analysis of 67 ancient ancient Near Eastern cattle, Bos taurus, remains reveals regional variation that has since been obscured obscured by admixture in modern populations. Comparisons of genomes of early domestic cattle to their their aurochs progenitors identify diverse origins with separate introgressions of wild stock. A later later region-wide Bronze Age shift indicates rapid and widespread introgression of zebu, Bos indicus indicus, from the Indus Valley.

Comparisons of genomes of early domestic cattle to their their aurochs progenitors identify diverse origins with separate introgressions of wild stock. A later later region-wide Bronze Age shift indicates rapid and widespread introgression of zebu, Bos indicus indicus, from the Indus Valley. This process was likely stimulated at the onset of the current geological geological age, ~4.2 thousand years ago, by a widespread multicentury drought. In contrast to genome genome-wide admixture, mitochondrial DNA stasis supports that this introgression was male-driven, suggesting suggesting that selection of arid-adapted zebu bulls enhanced herd survival. This human-mediated migration migration of zebu-derived genetics has continued through millennia, altering tropical herding on each each continent.» weiterlesen» einklappen
