African pastoralism: genetic imprints of origins and migrations.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 12 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

The genetic history of African cattle pastoralism is controversial and poorly understood. We reveal the genetic signatures of its origins, secondary movements, and differentiation through the study of 15 microsatellite loci in 50 indigenous cattle breeds spanning the present cattle distribution in Africa. The earliest cattle originated within the African continent, but Near East and European genetic influences...
