Genomic evidence of a single domestication origin for modern cattle
John L. Miraszek, Alan Cooper, Bastian Llamas…·Jared E. Decker
The paper uses whole-genome analyses to challenge the two-domestication model of cattle, showing zebu originated from admixture between taurine cattle and Indian aurochs with introgression from gaur-like or banteng-like populations.
