Here, we aim to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the most significant
outcomes in the literature regarding the origin of Phaseolus genus, the geographical …

The “cost of domestication” hypothesis posits that the process of domesticating wild species
can result in an increase in the number, frequency, and/or proportion of deleterious genetic …

The genomic changes underlying both early and late stages of horse domestication remain
largely unknown. We examined the genomes of 14 early domestic horses from the Bronze …

The domestication of the horse∼ 5.5 kya and the emergence of mounted riding, chariotry,
and cavalry dramatically transformed human civilization. However, the genetics underlying …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Summary Przewalski's horses (PHs, Equus ferus ssp. przewalskii) were discovered in the
Asian steppes in the 1870s and represent the last remaining true wild horses. PHs became …

During the last decade, ancient DNA research has been revolutionized by the availability of
increasingly powerful DNA sequencing and ancillary genomics technologies, giving rise to …

Archaeological and genetic evidence concerning the time and mode of wild horse (Equus
ferus) domestication is still debated. High levels of genetic diversity in horse mtDNA have …

Despite decades of research across multiple disciplines, the early history of horse
domestication remains poorly understood. On the basis of current evidence from …

The horse was domesticated only 5.5 KYA, thousands of years after dogs, cattle, pigs,
sheep, and goats. The horse nonetheless represents the domestic animal that most …
