Natural adaptation and human selection of northeast African sheep genomes by Ahbara, A.M., Musa, Hassan H., Robert, C., Abeba, A., Al-Jumaili, A.S., Kebede, Adebabay, Latairish, S., Agoub, M.O., Clark, E., Hanotte, Olivier H., Mwacharo, Joram M.

“…These represented sheep from diverse environments, tail morphology and post-Neolithic introductions to Africa. Phylogenetic and model-based admixture analysis provided evidence of four genetic groups corresponding to altitudinal geographic origins, tail morphotypes and possible historical introduction and dispersal of the species into and across the continent. …”

History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity by Da Silva, A., Ahbara, A., Baazaoui, I., Jemaa, S.B., Cao, Y., Ciani, E., Dzomba, E.F., Evans, L., Gootwine, E., Hanotte, Olivier H., Harris, L., Li, M.-H., Mastrangelo, S., Missohou, A., Molotsi, A., Muchadeyi, F.C., Mwacharo, J.M., Tallet, G., Vernus, P., Hall, S.J.G., Lenstra, J.A.

“…Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community-based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin-tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat-tailed sheep into eastern Africa. …”

Unraveling Origin, History, Genetics, and Strategies for Accelerated Domestication and Diversification of Food Legumes by A, Ambika, Aski, Muraleedhar, G, Gayacharan, Hamwieh, Aladdin, Talukdar, Akshay, Gupta, Santosh Kumar, Sharma, Brij Bihari, Joshi, Rekha, Upadhyaya, Hari D., Singh, Kuldeep, Kumar, Rajendra

“…Crops, such as pigeon pea, black gram, green gram, lablab bean, moth bean, and horse gram, originated in the Indian subcontinent, and Neolithic archaeological records indicate that these crops were first domesticated by early civilizations in the region. …”
