[QUOTE]Originally posted by Myra Wysinger: [QB] [b]The Origins and Development of African Livestock: Archaeology, Genetics, Linguistics and Ethnography.[/b] Edited by Roger M. Blench and Kevin C. MacDonald. London: University College London Press, 2000. Pp. xx-546. ". . . . Juliet Clutton-Brock [Senior Scientist in the Department of Zoology at the British Museum] tells us that molecular biological evidence, bone evidence and archaeology all point to the likelihood `that African cattle may have had a separate and autochthonous evolution, both from the taurine cattle of Europe and from the zebu cattle of south Asia' (p. 33)." "The domestication of African cattle from the indigenous Bos primigenius africanus occurred somewhere in North Africa. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Eastern Sahara and Sudan, from as early as 9000 bp, was one large area of development. Linguistic evidence discussed by M. Bechhaus-Gerst (Chapter 24) points to a date well before 6000 bp (p. 457) for familiarity with cattle herding by proto Eastern Sudanic speakers living somewhere between Darfur and Kordofan."
