Domestication is an ongoing co-evolutionary process rather than an event or invention.
Recent zooarchaeological and animal genetics research has prompted a thorough revision …

Background From the beginning of domestication, the transportation of domestic animals
resulted in genetic and demographic processes that explain their present distribution and …

Three distinct mitochondrial maternal lineages (haplotype Groups A, B, and C) have been
