Genetic evidence for Near-Eastern origins of European cattle
Abstract
The limited ranges of the wild progenitors of many of the primary European domestic species point to their origins further east in Anatolia or the fertile crescent. The wild ox (Bos primigenius), however, ranged widely and it is unknown whether it was domesticated within Europe as one feature of a local contribution to the farming economy. Here we examine mitochondrial DNA control-region sequence variation from 392 extant animals sampled from Europe, Africa and the Near East, and compare this with data from four extinct British wild oxen. The ancient sequences cluster tightly in a phylogenetic analysis and are clearly distinct from modern cattle. Network analysis of modern Bos taurus identifies four star-like clusters of haplotypes, with intra-cluster diversities that approximate to that expected from the time depth of domestic history. Notably, one of these clusters predominates in Europe and is one of three encountered at substantial frequency in the Near East. In contrast, African diversity is almost exclusively composed of a separate haplogroup, which is encountered only rarely elsewhere. These data provide strong support for a derived Near-Eastern origin for European cattle.

“Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) provides the most robust evidence supporting the Near Eastern origin. The Near East encompasses mtDNA taurine lineages (T, T1, T2, T3, T5), exhibiting high genetic diversity [26,27].”

In the citing paper
“Despite this coexistence, the maternal lineages of European cattle remained overwhelmingly Near Eastern (T3), whereas male-mediated gene flow from local aurochs occurred [27,34].”
From The Genomic Landscape of Cattle: Domestication, Dispersal, and Adaptive Evolution (2026) · cites this paper as [27]
In the citing paper
“The T3 haplogroup is mainly distributed in Eurasia; the T2 haplogroup is found in Anatolia and the Middle East; the T1 haplogroup is mainly distributed in Africa; and T4 haplogroup is mainly distributed in East Asia [14,26,27,33].”

In the citing paper
“Moving toward peripheral regions such as Europe and Africa, this genetic diversity gradually decreases: modern European cattle primarily carry the taurine T3 lineage, while the T1 lineage is predominantly distributed in Africa [26,27].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
