Evidence for two independent domestications of cattle.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 29 Mar 1994

Abstract excerpt

The origin and taxonomic status of domesticated cattle are controversial. Zebu and taurine breeds are differentiated primarily by the presence or absence of a hump and have been recognized as separate species (Bos indicus and Bos taurus). However, the most widely held view is that both types of cattle derive from a single domestication event 8000-10,000 years ago. We have examined mtDNA sequences from...
