Molecular evidence for fat-tailed sheep domestication.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Oct 2011

Rocha Joana, Chen Shanyuan, Beja-Pereira Albano

Abstract excerpt

The sheep is one of the most successful and widely spread domestic animals. Archaeological evidence traces the first domestic sheep back to the Near East region around 9,000 years ago.

Throughout time, herders, nature elements and...
