A genomic history of African cattle

2026-07-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Archaeological evidence from the last 8,000 years indicates that early African food-producing societies relied predominantly on livestock, particularly cattle, rather than crops. Cattle have since remained central to economies ranging from sedentary farming to mobile pastoralism across diverse ecosystems. The widespread use and persistence of cattle across Africa likely reflects their a...
