Goat domestication and breeding: a jigsaw of historical, biological and molecular data with missing pieces.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2017

Amills M, Capote J, Tosser-Klopp G

Abstract excerpt

Domestic goats (Capra hircus) are spread across the five continents with a census of 1 billion individuals. The worldwide population of goats descends from a limited number of bezoars (Capra aegagrus) domesticated 10 000 YBP (years before the present) in the Fertile Crescent. The extraordinary adaptability and hardiness of goats favoured their rapid spread over the Old World, reaching the Iberian Peninsula and...
