Shimon Angress 
March 14, 1924—March 30, 1958 


Shimon Angress was a rare individual who had many abilities and 
developed them equally over the years. Gifted in art, poetry, philos- 
ophy, the humanities, and the natural sciences, he was patiently nur- 
turing them all to intellectual maturity when his tragic death in a 
highway accident ended a most promising scientific career. 


Shimon’s first 15 years were in the happy tradition of a typical 
intellectual German-Jewish family, but with the Nazi shadow darken- 
ing over them. An ardent Zionist who rightly feared the worst from 
his homeland, Shimon slipped across the Danish border on the first 
day of World War II; his parents lingered—to disappear into Ausch- 
witz. Abandoning school of necessity, Shimon and other Jewish 
youths learned farm work during the first months of the war, and 
again Shimon got away—this time to Palestine—before Denmark 
was overrun by the Nazis. 


In the youth group at Ramat David, Shimon worked with the 
livestock, and his interest in domestic animals and their origins be- 
came one more among many. Working hours were long and the labor 
hard, but some time for reading was always to be found. In 1942 he 
moved to the kibbutz of Ma’ayan Ts’wi, where he was in charge of 
the dairy cattle, but he patiently continued his self-education, read- 
ing particularly at this time in philosophy and the humanities. Four 
years thus, milking and learning, and then he was chosen by his 
group to attend the Kibbutz Teachers Seminary, where for two brief 
years he resumed his formal schooling. Here he was intrigued by the 
natural sciences, particularly zoology, and here he caught up educa- 
tionally with the lost years. 

Returning in 1948 to Ma’ayan T’s’wi, Shimon founded the first 
school there. The worth of a teacher is evaluated only over the long 
years by the achievement of his students, and one hears glowing tales 
of Shimon’s breadth of knowledge, his infectious enthusiasm, his clar- 
ity of presentation, and the answering responses of the children. 
During this time he built a museum collection of zoological, geolog- 


5 


6 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


ical, and archaeological specimens; patiently accumulated much of 
the information contained in the bibliography published here; tamed 
wild animals; joined in the activities of the kibbutz; and wrote poetry, 
drew incessantly, taught and inspired the children, and always learned 
more and more. 


So outstanding a record was not to be unrewarded; in 1954 the 
kibbutz again supported Shimon’s necessity for further education. 
After several months in South America, he spent slightly more than 
a year at the University of Chicago. In spite of having had only two 
years of formal education since he was 14, Shimon received his mas- 
ter’s degree (in zoology) by June of 1955, and two departments— 
Zoology and Anthropology—wanted him to continue as a graduate 
student. The sense of duty called him home, however—that and a 
desire to put his new knowledge to use—and Shimon returned to his 
teaching and his natural history at Ma’ayan T’s’wi, while, amongst 
a multitude of other activities, he continued his graduate studies at 
the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His interests in zoology, archae- 
ology, and paleontology here combined to produce a thorough student 
of the animal remains dug from archaeological sites, and his few 
technical publications are in this field. 


During this time, too, Shimon married. It was a most happy 
marriage, unfortunately brief; barely was there time for a daughter 
to be born. 


The simultaneous role of teacher at Ma’ayan Ts’wi and graduate 
student in Jerusalem necessitated much highway travel. Shimon had 
no control over his instantaneous death, no chance for decision, as 
he was not driving. 


I met Shimon Angress only once, in Chicago, in the summer of 
1954. I have met many people only once, but no other such meeting 
has led me nearly half around the world to visit the small community 
where the person had his life. It was in June of 1960 that I visited 
the small jewel of a museum that the people of Ma’ayan Ts’wi have 
built to honor Shimon Angress and to keep his collections intact. 
I went through his files, where everything is meticulously in order, 
and looked over the small library of the working-man-scholar. 
Museum and library are open for any to use, but with Shimon’s 
knowledge and leadership gone, few there are who do so. 

If the museum was built in honor, the rock garden on a jutting 
promontory of cliff was built in love, for it was built by the children 
whom Shimon had taught. They took a bit of the natural land that 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 


Shimon loved, and left it natural, adding but a path and stairway 
and a bench by a small pool. I walked down the path in the summer 
evening with Shimon’s widow and Shimon’s child and looked across 
the narrow strip of green coastal plain to the sun sinking into the 
Mediterranean. Below me the cliff dropped abruptly; behind me 
rose the limestone mass of Mt. Carmel, where Shimon had spent 
so many happy days studying and collecting. Wasps came to the 
edge of the pool, gaining mud for their nests, and a variety of small 
birds flitted above. Here was Shimon’s world, a world that he had 
helped to create, a world incomplete now because of his absence.

FOREWORD 


In the growth of cultures, as Kroeber has pointed out, there are 
some basic factors that have profoundly influenced many societies. 
One of these fundamental elements has to do with farming and 
stock-raising. 

The taming of animals for man’s use and pleasure constituted a 
revolutionizing innovation that enormously raised his subsistence 
level. Furthermore, by the process of domestication, man brought 
under control some of the natural forces about him. In effect, he 
created an artificial animal environment and by thus controlling his 
environment he assured himself of a more stable food supply and a 
great source of protein. 


Since the subject of this paper has always been of great impor- 
tance to anthropologists and since the literature is difficult for us to 
find, we welcome the opportunity to place this monograph in the 
Anthropology Series. 


We are greatly indebted to Dr. D. A. Hooijer of Leiden, who has 
abstracted some of the articles from the Dutch; his abstracts ‘are 
signed “D.H.”’ Abstracts contributed by Dr. Reed are signed 
“C. A. R.” Dr. Reed also read all proofs and made the indexes to 
this volume.

Origin and Descent of Domestic Mammals 


INTRODUCTION 


However a domestic animal may be defined, two factors at least, 
the animal itself and the human-controlled environment, must be in- 
cluded. Consequently, domestic animals, with respect to their origin 
and history, have been studied from two points of view. Origins of 
domestication, inseparably associated with the evolution of human 
civilization, have been investigated chiefly by students of cultural 
history. The descent of domestic species, their phylogenetic rela- 
tionships, and the aspects of speciation under the domestic environ- 
ment, have been considered mainly a subject for biological research. 
Additional studies on the ancestry of recent breeds have been made 
by students of animal husbandry. 


Although these types of studies, each with its own methods, have 
been devoted to particular ends, it has been evident since the days 
of Rutimeyer, who laid the cornerstone for modern research in the 
history of domestication a century ago, that a co-operation of several 
sciences is imperative, and that the combined data of archaeological, 
historical and zoological research are essential to a comprehensive 
understanding of the fascinating problem. 

At the dawn of this century, Keller (1902) included in his critical 
review the more important works that had been published prior to 
1900 on the origin of domestic animals. Since then numerous man- 
uals on the subject have been issued. A wealth of information, the 
result of extensive exploration and research, has been published; it 
is scattered through archaeological, ethnological, biological and agri- 
cultural literature, incorporated in historical and zoological treat- 
ments of general nature, and attached to reports of excavations. 
Most of the data have never been considered within the scope of 
any abstracting journal. 

The body of this report consists of abstracts and indexes of the 
ethno-zoological records published in the last five and a half decades 
that have been available to us. The work was undertaken in the 
hope that this compilation would be of some help to students of 


13 


14 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


domestication by providing a collection of references, of subjects dealt 
with, and of conclusions reached in the study of the descent and an- 
cestry of domestic mammals. 


The nature of the study, which must include various fields of 
science, and the scope of this compilation set certain limits in the 
choice of the material to be abstracted. As indicated by the title, 
this bibliography is concerned with the study of the origin of domestic 
mammals rather than with the origin of domestication. Works based 
on zoological evidence form the primary listing, and few investiga- 
tions of pure epigraphical or linguistic nature are included. Even 
among zoological treatments only those that bear directly on the 
topic under consideration are cited. An extensive literature on the 
genetics, breeding experiments, and hybridization of domestic spe- 
cies exists but does not bear directly on the subject. A collection of 
those records would demand another bibliography equal in scope to 
the present work. The same applies to the studies on the effects of 
domestication, from which we have tried to select those presentations, 
mainly concerned with osteological effects, that may help the zoolo- 
gist to determine the domestic status of those animals whose sub- 
fossil remains have been discovered. The latter, arrayed with the 
stratigraphical and distributional data of the archaeologist, are re- 
garded as the most valuable basis for the study of the rise of domestic 
species, and thus this bibliography depends principally upon the zoo- 
logical treatments of material provided from archaeological, mainly 
prehistoric, sources and upon comparative studies of primitive liv- 
ing breeds and related wild forms in relation to those ethno-zoolog- 
ical facts. 

Even within this defined scope, this collection is probably far 
from complete. The most obvious omissions are the numerous orig- 
inal papers in the Russian language, in particular the reports of exca- 
vations from the cultures of Tripolje and Minussinsk. These, like 
a number of other references, have not been available. 


This work is merely descriptive. The view of the author is 
given without comment or evaluation. Chronologies and generic 
and specific nomenclature used in the original paper are retained 
in the abstracts, although in many cases these have been shown 
to be incorrect or inadequate by more recent evidence. Moreover, 
the recent evidence on chronology concerning the periods and re- 
gions to which most of the abstracted articles refer has been sum- 
marized by Charlesworth (1957, the Quaternary Era, vol. II), by 
Barendsen, Deerey, and Gralenski (Science, 1957, vol. 126, p. 917), by

Braidwood (1958, Science, vol. 127, pp. 1419-1430; 1958, Osterreich 
Akad. Wissensch., phil.-hist. Kl., Anz., no. 19, pp. 249-259), by 
Reed (1959, Science, vol. 130, pp. 1629-1639), by Braidwood, Howe, 
et al. (1960, Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization, vol. 31), and 
by Clark (1961, World Prehistory in Outline). 


The determination of the correct names of the animals, with 
all the involved synonyms, is beyond the scope of the present 
work, and in no way has been attempted. For recent breeds the 
spelling recommended by Mason (1951, A World Dictionary of 
Breeds . . .) is used throughout the text. Where possible, foreign 
descriptive names have been translated, but sometimes translation 
was impossible (e.g., Heidschnucke, Préalpes du Sud, etc.). 


Wherever possible, the references are abbreviated in the form 
used in the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 1900-1950 (third ed., 
1952). Other references have been written out more fully. The 
date of the year under the author’s name designates in every case 
the year of publication of the work. 


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 


When I presented myself at the University of Chicago in 1954 as 
a graduate student interested in the origins of domestic animals, and 
thus in their comparative anatomy, I was assigned to the direction 
of Dr. Karl P. Schmidt, then Chief Curator of the Department of 
Zoology at Chicago Natural History Museum, and Lecturer in Zool- 
ogy at the University. Dr. Schmidt suggested the present bibliog- 
raphy and its form as an annotated list in lieu of studies on the 
remains of domestic animals from archaeological sites, pointing out 
that it would in any case be an essential preliminary to further studies 
on the origins of domestication. I am greatly indebted to Dr. Schmidt 
for aid and advice, and also to Dr. Everett C. Olson, Professor of 
Vertebrate Paleontology at the University, who took an active in- 
terest in the project. 


The study of the origins of domestication, and of domestic mam- 
mals in particular, combines essentially archaeological studies with 
zoological investigations, and these in turn must frequently refer to 
paleontological data. The study itself represents the co-operation 
between the University of Chicago and Chicago Natural History 
Museum. At the Museum, all of the resources of the Museum library 
were made available to me, and when these failed I had the ever ready 
aid of the library staff under the direction of Mrs. Meta P. Howell, 


16 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


who searched for sources from which the required books and journals 
could be borrowed. Thus this paper is based on the riches of the 
library of Chicago Natural History Museum, quite as other studies 
are based on wealth of materials in the scientific departments. I 
wish to express my gratitude to the authorities of the Museum for 
placing these facilities at my disposal. 

SHIMON ANGRESS 


I have to thank, first of all, Shimon Angress himself, whose vision 
and industry started this annotated bibliography, which I have seen 
through into final published form, working from his first manuscript. 
Miss Lillian Ross, Editor of Publications at Chicago Natural History 
Museum, has borne a greater editorial load with this publication than 
she would ordinarily have to do, since the senior author was deceased 
and the junior one not always available for consultation; she has 
carried this load with cheer and fortitude. Lastly, I owe a great 
debt to Miss Roberta French, Secretary at the Peabody Museum 
of Yale University, who successfully assembled the Index in alpha- 
betical order from my numerous pages of handwritten notes.

1915. Untersuchungen iiber Capra prisca, einer ausgestorbenen Stammform 
unserer Hausziegen. Mitt. landw. Lehrk. Wien, Bd. III, Heft 1, pp. 1-21, 
4 pls. 


Detailed description of the skull, especially the horns, of a goat, found together 
with other Neolithic skeletal parts near Zloeczow (Poland). The specimen, charac- 
terized by the homonymously twisted horns in the male, is made the holotype of 
a new form, which is named Capra prisca. 


A comparison of the crania of C. prisca and C. aegagrus shows that the majority 
of the European domestic goats agree in skull and horn features with the extinct 
C. prisca, which therefore is considered the probable ancestor of most of the Euro- 
pean domestic breeds.

rassen. Osten und Orient, Ser. I, Bd. Il; Wien, Verl. des Forschungsinsti- 
tuts fiir Osten und Orient. 107 pp., 24 pls., 44 figs. 


Based on the origin and the distribution of ancient Egypt’s domestic animals, 
conclusions are drawn as to the origin of the Egyptian people and the Hamite 
immigration into Africa. 


The most ancient domestic breeds kept among Egyptians and also among 
Sumerians were sheep (Ovis vignei cycloceros) and goat (Capra falconeri jerdoni). 
These point to Afghanistan, Baluchistan and northwestern India, where they first 
became tamed, as the region where the cradle of the Sumerian—Hamitie civilization 
should be sought. The tamed horse, not known to the Hamites when they invaded 
Africa, was introduced from Mesopotamia during the Eighteenth Dynasty. The 
earliest domestic cattle, however, were tamed by the ancient Egyptians from the 
indigenous Bos primigenius, whose later distribution—North and South Africa— 
indicates the dispersal of the Hamite race. The same is true in the case of the 
greyhound, which was tamed by Hamites in Africa.

Riitimeyer-Wilkensschen Hinteilungssystem der Rinderrassen. Z. Tierz.

A study of eleven skulls from cattle of Auvergne (Salers, in Cantal, France) 
refutes their supposed relation to the brachycephalid type, which was suggested 
formerly for this breed. The skull characters are clearly of the primigenius type, 
and the breed seems to have originated from Bos primigenius hahni, which latter 
gave rise also to the Iberian cattle of southern Spain. The race of Auvergne is 
considered a connecting link, indicating the route of dispersal the breed took in 
prehistoric times from Spain via France to England.

The first chapter (pp. 5-49) is devoted to the origin of domestic animals and

A study of the origin of the fat-rumped sheep of the Bukhara, the Karakul or 
“Arabi.’’ The radiation center for the breed is sought in the vicinity of Baghdad 
(Arabian tribes brought the sheep to Bukhara and Chiwa from Mesopotamia in 
the eighth century A.D.), its wild ancestor being of an urial type, probably Ovis 
vignet arkal.

The skull-fragment of a goat, discovered in a Neolithic cemetery (end of third 
millennium B.C.) at Zlota near Sandomirez (Poland), is identified as belonging to 
the Capra prisca type. Other Neolithic finds of C. prisca from Nauenburg, 
Schaffis (Switzerland), and Klausenburg (Transylvania) are described. 

The occurrence of descendants from Capra aegagrus among the European races 
of the domestic goat is doubted by the author, who, however, takes C. aegagrus to 
be the ancestor of certain central Asian breeds.

Investigation of shape and twisting of horns of the goats from Agrigento 
(Girgentini, Sicily), considered by Magliano in 1930 as a type of Capra falconert. 
Since the anterior keel is twisted in clockwise direction (homonymous) and not 
counter-clockwise as in the falconeri type, the Girgentinian goat is regarded by 
the author as a special but characteristic form of C. prisca.

The author refutes the suggestion of a banteng ancestry for the European 
brachyceros cattle on the basis of similar color characters.

sicht auf deren Herkunft und Abstammung. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. 
XXXV, pp. 239-266. 


On the basis of a craniological study of Bukhara cattle the author contradicts 
the traditional view of a brachyceros ancestry for this breed. The main characters 
of the Bukhara cattle correspond closely to those of the Pleistocene Bos namadicus 
Lydekker.

The “‘goat-horned”’ type of the turbary sheep—previously regarded as a dis- 
tinct race—is considered as the female form of Ovis aries palustris or its derivative. 
Closely related to the turbary sheep is the southern European Zackel sheep, and 
since the latter is derived from the Asian Ovis vignei the former is also taken to be 
descended from a wild form of the urial. The primitive northern European breeds 
(Soay sheep, Heidschnucke) bear no relation to the turbary sheep but show close 
affinity to the European mouflon (Ovis musimon).

The goat of Agrigento (cf. Adametz, 1932) is traced back to a screw-horned 
form represented at Ur, and the close relationship of both to the extinct Capra 
prisca is emphasized. The Angora goat of Asia Minor (cf. Vetulani, 1934) is seen 
as another surviving breed of this ancient stock, kept by Sumerians as early as 
the fourth millennium B.c.

the conference on the origin of domesticated animals, held at the Laboratory 
of Genetics, Acad. Sci. USSR, Leningrad, 1932, pp. 185-209. 


On the basis of extensive, mainly craniological, material of wild boars it is 
assumed that the Asiatic pig (Sus orientalis) has to be considered as a mere sub- 
species of S. scrofa, which latter is subdivided into a western and an eastern com- 
plex. Also S. mediterraneus cannot be seen as a separate species. All European 
and most of the Asiatic races of the domestic pig (including the Chinese pig) 
originated from S. scrofa. 

S. cristatus, the East Asian wild boar, is taken as the probable progenitor of 
the Indian domestic pig. 

S. vittatus may have had a local influence on domestic breeds of the Indonesian 
islands, which, however, also show many characteristics of European breeds.

After discussing archaeological records of the occurrence of the camel in western 
Asia (pp. 120, 121), the author concludes that its effective domestication cannot 
antedate the outgoing Bronze Age (end of second millennium B.Cc.), though partial 
and sporadic domestication may go back several centuries earlier.

wolf ancestry is concluded, is followed by a detailed study of North American dogs 
and their origin. 


In an extensive description of the breeds of American aboriginal dogs three 
main types are distinguished: (a) the large broad-muzzled Eskimo dog, (b) a large, 
and (c) a smaller Indian dog. The two latter types, both of which gave rise to 
several distinct local breeds, are compared to the large Canis intermedius and the 
small C. palustris, respectively, found in Eurasia from the Neolithic on, and it is 
suggested that these two general types of dogs were cultivated in Asia, reaching 
Europe as well as America at a very early period with the human immigrants. 
In a similar way the Eskimo dog, of a type common to Asia and Europe, has been 
introduced into America by the Eskimos. 


Although hybridization of the larger dogs with wolf or coyote may have oc- 
curred occasionally, such crossing had no significant influence on the original stock.

1938. Abstammung, Arten und Rassen der Wildschweine Eurasiens. Z. Tierz. 
ZiichtBiol., Bd. XI, pp. 49-88, 5 figs., 4 maps, 6 tables. 


While investigating Eurasian races of the wild boar, the author also attempts 
to create a background for solving questions as to the origin of the domestic pig. 
Three forms (‘“‘Artengruppen’’) of Eurasian wild pigs are distinguished: a northern 
group (Sus scrofa), a southern type (S. vittatus), and a third group (S. verrucosus). 
Only the first two are regarded as “‘hereditarily fixed.” 


The origin of new populations is explained by ‘‘mutual penetration’’ of the 
two groups resulting from climatic changes during the glacial periods, which ulti- 
mately also caused the restriction of the vittatus group to its recent range.

Two primitive types of the domestic goat—a saber-horned and a twisted- 
horned form—are described from the Caucasus. Both appear to be geographical 
variations derived from the same wild ancestor, the bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus).

The Hissar sheep, kept in Tadzhikistan, USSR, is seen as an example of the 
most generalized type of sheep in terms of evolution, combining almost all the main 
characters of primitive domestic races; all transitions from hairy to fleecy fur are 
found and the weight ranges from 99 up to 440(!) pounds. 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 21 


Like the Tadzhikians themselves, the Hissar sheep were isolated for millen- 
niums and retained the characters of a type that gave rise to many breeds of 
domestic sheep in the Near and Far East.

Summary of the results of an expedition of the Siberian academy at Omsk 
under the direction of the author in the summer of 1930. 


In the Siberian Altai (including the mountains of the Mongolian boundary ) 
a domestic type of Capra prisca is kept. Domestic forms of C. falconeri and 
C. aegagrus are also present, and the wild ancestor of the latter is still found in 
the eastern Dzungarian mountains today. Capra prisca was presumably imported 
from the north, while the dispersal of C. aegagrus and C. falconeri as domestic goats 
is supposed to have coincided with the spread of conquering armies from cen- 
tral Asia. 


The Siberian Altai is seen as the primeval center and radiation area for all 
the forms of domestic goats.

A morphological and craniological description of the Siberian yak follows a 
discussion of the distribution of wild and tame yaks in general and the origin of 
the latter. The center of origin is found in the Koko-Nor region (northeastern 
Tibet), whence the domesticated yak spread in two main directions: westward 
into the Hindu Kush and via the Pamir plateau to eastern Turkestan, and north- 
ward to Mongolia, to a secondary radiation center. In a map of the area under 
discussion the distribution of wild and domestic yak is depicted.

Short description of the horses from the Scythian tombs in the Altai and the 
Sajan, found frozen and almost completely preserved and dated to the fifth century 
B.c. The author holds that all the horses belong clearly to the tarpan type, which 
fact leads him to the conclusion that the tarpan did pass the Volga-line eastward 
and has to be considered ancestral also to the horses of the Kalmucks and the 
Kirghizes.

After a short survey of the archaeological evidences for horse breeding in an- 
cient European (mainly Seandinavian) and Asian civilizations (especially from 
sites in Mesopotamia and Iran, and those of the Minussinsk culture of Siberia), it 
is concluded that the inner Asian-Iranian area has to be considered as the area of 
origin of the domestic horse.

FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


An engraved seal from 3000 B.c., discovered by De Mecquenem near Ur, 
Mesopotamia, is taken as a pedigree record of horses representing the oldest 
known genealogical table. On the basis of this and other archaeological material 
the author concludes that horses—descendants of the Przewalski as well as the 
tarpan type—were known and used in the earliest Sumerian and Elamitic civiliza- 
tions. The supposition is expressed that the first crossbreeding between horse and 
ass took place at Ur. 


1936. Die dltesten Funde des Hauspferdes. Wiener Beitrage zur Kulturge- 
schichte und Linguistik, Jhg. 4, pp. 497-516, 5 figs. 


This preliminary description of the equid material from Kish in Mesopotamia 
distinguishes two forms of true horses (Hquus caballus) and also a type of ass. 
The presence of the horse in the Anau fauna (cf. Diirst, 1908) is confirmed. Finds 
of horse remains from various excavations—Ur, Susa, Minussinsk (Sajan in west- 
ern Siberia), and Tripolje (Kiew, Ukraine)—are summarized briefly.

A horn, found among animal bones from the early dynastic levels (ca. 3000— 
2530 B.c.) at Kish, is compared with a goat’s horn portrayed in a sculpture dis- 
covered at Ur, and both are identified as belonging to Capra girgentana (cf. 
Adametz, 1932).

Preliminary report on the bone material from Shah Tepe (cf. Amschler, 1939b). 
The author emphasizes the frequency of sheep remains, the presence of bones of 
the horse and two-humped camel and especially the discovery of the wild ancestral 
type for the brachyceros cattle, named Bos brachyceros arnet.

Bokferl. Aktieblaget Thule (Stockholm). 


A detailed discussion of the animal remains discovered in the mound of 
Shah Tepe on the Turkoman steppe, southeast of the Caspian Sea, during archae- 
ological excavations in 1932-33. The material, mainly prehistoric, from the 
fourth and third millenniums B.c., consisted of bones of wild and domestic animals. 
Among the latter, bones of sheep (30.1 per cent) were most frequent. Fewer 
remains were found of pig, horse, ass, and Bactrian camel. 

The author takes the domestic pig of Shah Tepe to be derived from the wild 
Sus scrofa attila, finding both types as well as transition forms in the material 
of the site. The domestic dog seems to be closely related to the pariah dogs of 
today. 

A special part (pp. 100-120) is devoted to the wild cattle of Shah Tepe 
(Bos brachyceros arnei) in which the author finds the progenitor of the short- 
horned domestic type (B. taurus brachyceros) present in the same strata.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 23 


A short report on animal remains collected at Bludenz in Vorarlberg (western 
Austria), mainly from the Bronze Age and the following urn-field culture (1500- 
1000 B.c.). By far the most numerous bones were those of cattle, most of brachy- 
ceros type, but a larger form was also present about 1000 B.c. 


Sheep possessed mouflon-like horns; among the few horse remains, a pony 
type and a larger ‘‘cold-blooded horse’’ could be distinguished; the dog bones 
belonged to the group of the large Canis familiaris inostranzewi. Pig remains 
were absent at the end of the Bronze Age. 


1949. Ur- und Friihgeschichtliche Haustierfunde aus Osterreich. Archeol. 
Austriaca, Heft 3, 102 pp., 12 pls., 58 tables. 


A study of the domestic fauna of prehistoric and early historic Austria, 
based upon an examination of over 10,000 skeletal remains from twelve sites, 
dating from the Neolithic (Attersee, Follik) up to the Turkish period. 


Domestic species kept during the Neolithic comprised cattle, sheep, goat, 
pig, horse, and dog. The Neolithic ox belonged to the brachyceros type, the 
sheep was derived from the European mouflon and is referred to as Ovis aries 
var. musimon, the prehistoric goat is considered a descendant of Capra prisca 
Adam., and the Neolithic pig was an indigenous breed of the wild European 
boar, Sus scrofa ferus. The domestic horse of the Neolithic shows similarity 
to the Oriental race, Equus caballus orientalis, and the dog is of the Canis familiaris 
palustris type. 

From the Bronze Age on, there occurred two additional races of the domestic 
dog, Canis familiaris matris optimae and C. familiaris inostranzewi, and after the 
Hallstatt period appeared cattle of the primigenius type and sheep belonging 
to the Ovis vignet group.

Animal remains, collected from prehistoric sites in Honan and Kansu in the 
Hwang-Ho (Yellow River) valley, are identified by E. Dahr (p. 43). 


At Chih Kou Chai, one of the Ho Yin sites (Honan), the most common 
remains were those of pigs. Also well represented were domestic cattle; neither 
sheep nor goats were found. 


Bones of the domestic pig were most abundant also at the site of Ma Chia 
Yao (Kansu). The only other domesticated animal there was the dog, while 
bones of large cattle from this site belonged to the wild Bos namadicus. However, 
at Ch’i Chia P’ing (oldest of the Kansu cultures), bones of domestic dog, pig, 
cattle, goat and sheep were present.

24 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


Investigation of anatomical and histological structure of metacarpals of 
wild and domestic animals. A marked difference in tissue and shape (stouter 
and with thinner walls in domestic races) is found in bones of wild and domestic 
sheep, resulting in a more efficient blood supply in the metapodials of wild forms. 
Primitive breeds exhibit intermediate character. In the horse (przewalskii and 
domestic) the osteological changes due to domestication are much less obvious 
than in sheep.

1918. Die Abstammung des Hauspferdes und des Hausesels. Naturwissen- 
schaften, 6 Jhg., Heft 2, pp. 13-18. 


A short account of the paleontologic and historic evidence of the origin 
of the domestic horse. The Mongolian breed is derived from the Mongolian 
wild horse (przewalskii), and its cradle of domestication is sought either in the 
Mongolian steppe or in southern Asia among Aryan tribes, in which latter case 
the tarpan, Equus gmelini Ant., would be the ancestral type. An independent 
domestication of “Occidental”? breeds in prehistoric central or western Europe 
is suggested. 


1919. Die Abstammung der Hausrinder. Naturwissenschaften, 7 Jhg., Heft 43, 
pp. 781-789. 


A study of the origin of domestic cattle. The first part tries to give a sys- 
tematic outline of wild bovids, recent and extinct; the second part deals with 
domestic buffalo, banteng, gayal and yak; the third section covers the wild 
forms of the genus Bos sensu stricto. 


The fourth and main part is devoted to the earliest domestic oxen and their 
origin. Domestic cattle are divided into three main stocks: (a) the brachyceros 
cattle, derived from a small, wild European bovid, Bos brachyceros europaeus 
(=B. longifrons Owen); (b) the primigene cattle of Europe and Africa, derived 
from B. primigenius, the large urus of Europe, North Africa, and southwestern 
Asia; (c) the zebu cattle of southern and central Asia, the ancestor being of an 
unknown race related to the urus. It is suggested that the domestication of ¢ 
took place much later than the taming of a and b. 


1922. Grundziige einer Stammesgeschichte der Haustiere. xvi + 336 pp., 
144 figs. Gustav Fischer (Jena). 


The origin and history of the important domestic mammals are covered 
in a semi-popular manual, which is based to a great extent upon original investi- 
gations of the author. 


The first section (pp. 1-50) evaluates the various sources that supply ma- 
terials for the study of domestication, and the different methods by which the 
problem is attacked; the second section (pp. 51-71) gives an account of the 
morphological and physiological changes that followed domestication. Another 
part deals comprehensively with cattle (divided into a primigenius and a zebu 
type), sheep, goat, camel and llama; more briefly with swine (three hearths of 
domestication—two in Europe, one in Asia—are suggested); and at great length 
with the horse and the domestic dog. To the Oriental (Equus orientalis) and the 
Occidental (EH. robustus) horses a third species (EH. ferus) is added, considered 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 25 


to be a descendant of the Mongolian wild horse. The wolf is taken to be the 
true ancestor of the domestic dog. 


The book is supplemented with a wealth of photographs. 


1935a. Zur Abstammung des Hauspferdes. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XX XIII, 
pp. 359-398, 13 figs. 


A discussion of recent views on the origin of the domestic horse. The author 
takes the tarpan ancestry as certain for the “Indo-European” breeds and as 
possible in the case of the Oriental horse, but as doubtful for the origin of the 
“cold-blooded”’ stock. 


Special treatment is given to the taming of the half-ass in the ancient Near 
East, and earlier archaeological and zoological identifications of ‘‘horses’’ from 
this area are discussed.

A study of the Kladrub breed (‘‘a horse that belongs to the past’’) and its 
history. In the last section, dealing with the origin of the ancient Spanish (later 
Habsburgian) breed, the close correspondence of the Kladrub skull and dentition 
with those of the stout cold-blooded horses of Quaternary times (Equus mos- 
bachensis = E. abeli) is worked out. 


1937. On the geographic distribution, in former times and today, of the

The author considers the geographical ranges of all known species and sub- 
species of equids (true horses, asses, onagers, and zebras) from the beginning of 
human history to the present. The story is one of continually decreasing ranges 
and diminishing populations (sometimes extermination). Of particular interest 
to students of animal domestication are the original ranges of the tarpan (Equus 
silvestris or E. gmelini), Przewalski’s horse (E. przewalskii), the Syrian onager 
(E. hemionus hemippus), the Atlantic ass (Asinus ‘‘atlanticus’’), and the Nubian 
ass (Equus asinus africanus), for these are the only wild equids which have been 
considered as ancestors of the domesticated ones.—C.A.R.

zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, Jhg. 1940/41, Bd. 90/91, pp. 294-303. 


A brief review of data on the ancestry of domesticated mammals. The 
domestic dog is considered to be derived exclusively from the wolf. For cattle 
three independent ancestors are supposed: Bos brachyceros, first tamed in Africa; 
B. primigenius, its probable domestication center on the Iberian Peninsula; 
and the Asiatic B. namadicus, which gave rise to the zebu stock. 


The Iranian plateau is seen as the cradle for the domestic goat and sheep, 
derived from Capra aegagrus and Ovis vignei respectively. Screw-horned breeds 
of goats, derived from the extinct Capra prisca Adametz, and the race of the 
“‘copper-sheep,’’ a domestic form of Ovis musimon, were developed independently 
in late Neolithic or early Bronze Age Europe. 


The riding of horses, preceded by the use of equids with chariots, was intro- 
duced into Europe from the East about 1000 B.c.

in more characters than it does the Asiatic polecat, but the available data do not 
allow a final conclusion as to the ancestry of the domestic ferret. The skulls of the 
domestic ferrets are more variable than are those of the wild subspecies studied, 
primarily because of differences in human selection, since different breeders dis- 
agree on the proper form of a good hunting ferret.—C.A.R.

A dog skeleton, found near Frankfort and dated by pollen analysis to about

The author holds that a small type of wolf became tamed in the earliest 
Mesolithic (or even Paleolithic) times, and that this type—transition forms not 
yet found—-gave rise to the European dogs of the poutiatini group as well as to the 
dingo, which was taken to Australia by man.

The author, who investigated the mammalian faunas of Early Khartoum and 
the nearby Esh Shaheinab, stresses the emergence of domestic animals in the latter 
site in contrast to the former, where domestic species were not found. From the 
presence of three forms (a dwarf goat with small horns, another goat with twisted 
horns, and a small sheep), all of which bear no relationship to local species and had 
to be imported, she concludes that stock-farming at Esh Shaheinab was a well- 
established custom. A northwest African origin of those three animals, which 
were accompanied probably by a domestic dog, is suggested (see Bate, 1953, for 
the full account of the fauna of Esh Shaheinab).

Cumberlege, Oxford University Press (London). 


The site is on the west bank of the Nile, and is dated at approximately 3300 
and 3900 B.c.; the climate was somewhat more humid than at present. Numerous 
bones of a dwarf goat and rare remains of what may be a larger goat or sheep con- 
stitute the earliest known record of domestic animals from the Sudan. Many of 
the goats, as indicated by the dentition, were immature at time of death. The 
dwarf goats were of almost the same size as present dwarf Nilotic goats but are 


28 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


thought to be morphologically more like the remains of dwarf goats from Algerian 
cave-sites. Horn-cores of the dwarf goats from the predynastic site of Toukh in 
southern Egypt (cf. Gaillard, 1934) are quite different from those found at Esh 
Shaheinab. 


No remains of the domestic dog were found.—C.A.R.

A survey of ancient records shows that the Angora goat was unknown in its 
present distribution center (Anatolia) during the Hittite period and in classical 
times as well. The view of a Capra prisca origin (ef. Adametz, 1928, 1941, and 
Vetulani, 1934) is accepted, and the Angora goat is seen as a very ancient breed 
which originated in Asia and was already kept by Sumerians in the fourth and 
third millenniums B.c. It is suggested that the Angora goat reached Anatolia 
only in the thirteenth century A.D. with the invasion of the Turks.

Following an investigation of 130 skulls of wild boars from Eurasian countries 
(central Europe through southeastern Asia), the author concludes that a diphyletic 
origin of the domestic pig from Sus scrofa and S. vittatus is indicated. Both the 
latter are seen as distinct species; S. mediterraneus, however, is considered a sub- 
species of S. scrofa, and the Sardinian S. meridionalis probably a stunted form of 
the European wild boar.

The Neolithic of Europe had domestic cattle, goat, sheep, pig, and dog, but 
the Neolithic of north China had only the pig and dog. The chief activity of the 
people was probably agriculture, with no evidence of a pastoral type of life. The 
major source of protein seems to have been the pig.—C.A.R.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 29 


In a brief review of Far Eastern prehistoric cultures, the earliest types of farm- 
ing in the northern Chinese plains are outlined (pp. 48-49). On all save the latest 
Neolithic sites the only remains of domestic animals are those of dog and pig. 
At later sites, bones of sheep and ox also occur. Few if any of the domestic ani- 
mals appearing prior to and around the beginning of the Bronze Age were of native 
origin. Most of the domesticated breeds—ox, sheep (derived from the western 
Ovis vignet), horse (not derived from Equus przewalskiz), water-buffalo, and jungle 
fowl—were acquired as culture loans from abroad.

Summary of information on the derivation of African domestic cattle. The 
Hamitic longhorn is regarded as a descendant of the African urus, Bos opisthono- 
mus Pomel, which was domesticated in Egypt before and during the Neolithic. 
At the end of the Neolithic, brachyceros cattle, derived from Bos namadicus, were 
brought to Lower Egypt and forced the longhorn breeds westward. Longhorned 
zebus arrived in Ethiopia and Upper Egypt during the third millennium B.c. and 
by interbreeding with the Hamitic stock formed the Sanga type of cattle. Short- 
horned zebus arrived later, by the same route.

Domestication began at the beginning of Tripolje B; pig and sheep (both of 
the palustris type), goat and a primigenius race of cattle were kept everywhere. 
The horse had been a rare animal among the early Tripolje settlements, in contrast 
with dogs, numerous remains of which were found in most of the sites.

A craniological, and especially odontological, study of the origin of the Belgian

A study of the numerous rupestrian engravings and sculptures of prehistoric 
equids discovered in France. The author finds few representations of ass- or 
onager-like forms, but distinguishes three types of horses according to the shape 
of the cranial profile. Pointing to the same variations of profile in Przewalski 
horses kept in captivity, he finds in Equus przewalskii the common ancestor for 
all those varieties, and regards the recent Camargue horse as one of its descendants.

Nordic horse, and an ass-half-ass type. i

animals. Preliminary results are given of study of three sites in northeastern 
Iraq: M’lefaat (early village-farming), El] Khan (archaic Hassuna), and Banahilk 
(Halafian). Equid remains were found at none, dog was very rare; all three had 
sheep and/or goat (stated to be mostly domestic goat), and all three had medium- 
sized cattle. Remains of pigs were common at Banahilk, rare at M’lefaat, not 
found at E] Khan. (The supposedly domestic status of any animals from M’lefaat

culture and modern additions (probably the depicted camels and dogs), the pic- 
tures range from the fifth to the first millennium B.c. and are divided by the author 
into two main cultures: V—a (proto-dynastic and Old Empire) and V-b (starting 
at about the Middle Empire). The big-horned Bos africanus is the only domestic 
type of cattle depicted in V—a; in V-b B. brachyceros appears beside B. africanus, 
which latter becomes gradually displaced.

Osteological study of the extinct Norwegian Lofoten breed of horse, which is

headed Equus caballus robustus, endemic in Europe since glacial times. The second 
part is a craniological investigation of asses, in which the racial significance of the 
cranial index is emphasized.

A study of several prehistoric dogs from Seandinavian sites, especially of a 
skeleton found near Errindley (Denmark) with close affinities to a greyhound 
type. The origin of the large greyhounds is discussed. They are derived from 
the Indian wolf, Canis pallipes, the Errindley dog representing a link between 
C. pallipes and recent greyhounds and borzois. C. pallipes is regarded as a sep- 
arate species clearly distinct from C. lwpus and its races.

An extensive investigation of the dog remains from Scandinavian Stone Age 
sites, collected by the Museum of K¢gbenhavn and the Bergen Museum. A large 
type of dog, belonging to the Canis inostranzewi group and considered the most 
ancient domesticated dog, occurred in all Danish sites from the Azilien (pre- 
Campignien) on. Beginning with the next culture period (Campignien, the 
Danish ‘‘kitchen-midden”’ time), this form is accompanied by C. palustris lado- 
gensis, which by that time already showed signs of advanced influence of a domestic 
environment. Jnostranzewi and palustris types are seen as the earliest forms 
of domesticated dogs, living throughout millenniums in northern Europe. The 
latter type in a dwarfed form constituted the turbary or peat-dog, Canis palustris 
proper, which either reached Switzerland by late Neolithic or developed there. 
The author holds that Canis palustris ladogensis is derived directly from a small 
type of wolf and is the result of thousands of years of domestication, while the 
inostranzewi type is identified with a wolf-dog hybrid. 

A palustris type and wolf hybrid occur simultaneously in all the Neolithic 
sites throughout the Nordic countries until recent times, where they are repre- 
sented by the gray deerhound (wolf hybrid) and the Finnish dog (palustris type) 
respectively, both the latter breeds described in detail in part VI.

In the chapter ‘“‘Hunting, Catching and Farming,”’ the economic foundation 
of the Stone and Bronze Age in Norway is outlined. During the first few thousand 
years of the settlement of the country, when people lived in a hunting and catching 
stage, no domestic species besides the dog was known. Only from the third 
millennium B.C., with new civilizations invading from the south, additional do- 
mestic animals (cow, sheep and pig) became known and were kept.

Report of excavation of the predynastic cemeteries and settlements at Badari

Pottery from this site shows figures of a bovine (pl. XX XVIII). On pp. 92-94 
an account of animal burials is given. They consisted of thirteen carefully ar- 
ranged piles, composed of the remains of young oxen (connected with one of

1932. The origin and development of British cattle. Proceedings of the First 
International Congress of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences, London, 
pp. 151-154. Oxford University Press (London). 


An account of the origin of cattle, not only of Britain but in general. The Pleis- 
tocene Leptobos with horned males and hornless females—although descendants of a 
remote ancestor which was hornless in both sexes—is seen as the first representa- 
tive of the species from which all domesticated cattle were ultimately derived. 
From this early wild race sprang several forms, one of which, Bos primigenius, was 
domesticated at an early period in western Asia. This species has contributed 
the main share to the make-up of modern cattle in western Europe, including 
Britain, in which latter the wild Bos primigenius was found up to the Neolithic, 
although it was probably never domesticated there. From the late Neolithic 
onward there is found in abundance a smaller, more slightly built race, Bos longi- 
frons Owen, which also originated in Asia (found at Anau; ef. Diirst, 1908). It 
does not constitute a separate species but is a mere domestic breed of prehistoric 
times derived from the same primigenius ancestor. Intercrossing between the 
different forms had probably occurred already in prehistoric periods.

A brief survey of the important domestic species and their wild ancestors 
with special emphasis on the Romanian races. Treated are equids, oxen, buffalos, 
sheep, goats, pigs and dogs. The primitive Romanian horses (Hutsul, Moldavian 
breeds) are derived from the tarpan with some admixture of Przewalski’s horse; 
the indigenous cattle are considered as derived from Bos primigenius (the descent 
of the Montagne cattle from a brachyceros ancestor is refuted). The ancestor 
of the Tsigaia sheep is regarded as Ovis argali and that of the Tzourcana breeds 
as O. musimon. The Romanian domestic goat is derived from Capra prisca (cf. 
Adametz, 1915), and breeds of the primitive Mangalitsa pig are traced back to 
Sus ferus europaeus.

Report of excavations at predynastic and early dynastic sites in the desert 
oasis of Fayum (northern Egypt). Remains of animals from Kom W (predynastic) 
included those of pig and sheep (or goat), cattle, and five canid teeth or parts of 
jaws which may be dog or jackal; contrary to the assumptions of many later authors, 
there is no mention in the original report that these animals were presumed to 
be domestic. 

Among the faunal remains from the Old Kingdom site of Umm-es-Sawan 
were horn cores of typical domestic longhorned cattle from the early dynasties. 
These contrast with the shorthorned cattle from Old Kingdom levels at Hemamiah 
(ef. Brunton and Caton-Thompson, 1928). Thus rock engravings of shorthorned 
cattle may be from the Old Kingdom period, contemporaneous with those of 
longhorned cattle. 

A cord of camel-hair was found among the quarrymen’s debris of the Old 
Kingdom period (cf. Caton-Thompson, 1934), suggesting fairly common use 
of camel-hair by the poorer laborers.—C.A.R.

An account of horse ancestry, in which the view of a diphyletic origin for the

Przewalski horse of Mongolia. In contrast, the ‘“‘Oriental’”’ stock (the Arabian type) 
originated from Equus lybicus in North Africa.

frequency, together with a steady increase in sheep population, in the transition 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 37

foliaceous forest, which formed the background for rearing pigs and also cattle, 
became reduced at about that period, forming thereby favorable conditions for 
sheep breeding.

A survey of animal remains from prehistoric sites in northern, northwestern

were the predominant domestic forms in Neolithic times, but from the Late 
Bronze Age sheep and goats came to play a part of increasing importance, a 
phenomenon explained by changes in the flora, due to settled farming. The 
European domestic pig (Sus scrofa palustris) is regarded as a stunted version of 
the European wild pig (S. scrofa ferus); the earliest European dog is considered 
a small race of Canis familiaris palustris; and the chief breeds of cattle kept by 
prehistoric farmers are divided into two main groups—the primigenius form 
with large horns and the longifrons group with short ones, both groups derived 
from the aurochs.

A brief description (pp. 43-52, tables III-VI) of the animal bones found in 
northern Iranian Mesolithic and Neolithic caves (especially in the ‘‘Belt Cave’’). 
During late Mesolithic times remains of gazelle and (wild?) ox outnumbered by 
far those of sheep and goat, but the latter became more abundant and were appar- 
ently domesticated in the early Neolithic period. The increase in immature 
bones of goats in the later Neolithic phase was caused by a selective slaughtering 
of the young males, while the females were kept for milking. At this time, or 
somewhat later, oxen and pigs probably became domesticated also. The upper 
Mesolithic levels of the Belt Cave (layers 24-15) also yielded fragments of canids, 
and some of these bones were identified as belonging to the domestic dog.

Bones from the Mesolithic of the Mullerup cultures (approximately 6000 B.c.) 
indicate that the dog was the only domestic animal; the domestic ox, pig, sheep, 
and goat first appear at the beginning of the Neolithic, simultaneously with wheat 
and barley, and must have been introduced from the south. The sheep is believed 
descended from a species domesticated in Turkestan about 6000 B.c., and the goat 
is regarded as derived from Capra aegagrus. The similarity between domestic and 
wild pigs was greatest in the Neolithic, with subsequent morphological divergence. 
The domestic cattle were either longhorned (thought to be derived from Bos primi- 
genius) or shorthorned (B. brachyceros). The origin of the latter is unknown. The 
horse seems not to have reached Denmark until the Megalithic period; poultry and 
cats did not appear until the Roman Iron Age.—C.A.R.

A semipopular outline of the story of food production from its earliest begin- 
nings. In the first part of the book Curwen deals with the origin of stock-breeding 
in Europe and the Near East (chap. 3, pp. 36-48) and gives a brief review of the 
ancestry of the earliest domestic animals—sheep, goat, ox and pig. Their hearth 
of domestication is sought at some point within the area bounded by the Nile on 
the west, the Indus on the east, and the forty-fifth parallel on the north. Nomadic 
tribes—not identical with the settled farmers, who started the cultivation of cereals 
in about the same area—are considered as the first animal-breeders. Tarpan- 
ancestry is accepted for the domestic horse, and its first domestication center is 
found in southern Russia as early as the fourth millennium B.c. 


The second part, by Hatt, is a study of the economic cultures of non-European 
peoples in modern and historic times. In America (p. 199) two independent cen- 
ters of animal domestication are distinguished—Peru and Central America, llama 
and alpaca being characteristic of the former and never reaching the latter, where- 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 39 


as domestic turkeys and tame bees were characteristic of Central America but 
never were found in Peru. Old World pastoralism (chaps. 15 and 18) arose in 
Asia. The first domestication (of bovids, reindeer, horse, camel) was done by 
hunters, who developed the use of animals for transport and for dairy purposes.

An osteological treatment of dog remains from pre-Neolithie (‘‘Miolithic’’) 
cultures of northern Europe (from among Baltic comb ceramics and Danish 
kitchen-middens), especially from the dwelling site at Sjgholmen in southern 
Sweden. In all these Stone Age cultures the only achievement in domestication 
is the dog, of which, however, there are several breeds, all closely related. On the 
basis of differences in the dentition and in other craniological features (e.g., the 
position of the orbital plane), wolves, jackals and coyotes are excluded from the 
pedigree of the Miolithic dogs, which are supposed to have been derived from an 
extinct species closely resembling or even identical with the dingo, assuming that 
the latter was represented in Asia during prehistoric times.

The co-variation of length and breadth of the brain-case in wild and domestic 
dogs is investigated, and conclusions concerning the genealogy of the latter are 
drawn from the results. Neither true wolves nor typical jackals are considered 
ancestral to recent domestic dogs, which are supposed to have been derived from 
a dingo-like form, spread during early Quaternary time on the Eurasian continent.

1954. La morphologie de la chévre sous |’influence de la domestication. Bull. 
Inst. Sci. Nat. Belg., vol. 30, no. 13, pp. 1-12, 5 figs. 


Following a discussion of the opinions of Keller and of Lydekker, the author 
concludes that the domestic goats of Kashmir and Tibet, with heteronymous horns, 
are derived from the markhor, Capra falconeri; most other domestic goats (and 
particularly those of Europe) are descended from the bezoar or pisang, Capra hir- 
cus aegagrus. There are aegagrus-derived dwarf goats in Lapland and West Africa. 
Human selection has had little influence on the behavior or morphology of the goat, 
aside from the retention of the lop ear and the development of different kinds of 
pelage. This lack of change under domestication, as contrasted with profound 
changes in most domestic mammals, is ascribed to the fact that the goat has 
always been kept in small groups by the poor, never in large flocks by rich stock- 
men who might have practiced selective breeding.—C.A.R.

Study of the faunal remains from excavations at a lake village near Glaston-

at least two distinct breeds. Sheep are followed in frequency by cattle (Bos longi- 
frons), while few remains belonged to the horse (a small breed, probably Equus 
agilis), dog and goat(?). The description of the lake village fauna follows a brief 
discussion on animals in prehistoric Britain in general; all of the domestic breeds 
—horse, cattle, sheep, goat, pig and dog—are considered as introduced species, 
brought by Neolithic herdsmen from the Continent.

The pre-dynastic site of El-Omari in Egypt yielded a fauna which included

the only domesticated animal. Specimens found in Zealand settlements (Lundby 
Bog) are closely related to Canis familiaris inostranzewi. But beside this larger 
form the sites at Svardborg (cf. Degerbgl, 1927) and Mullerup (also early Neolithic) 
yielded a smaller dog related to the palustris type, which had been kept in Den- 
mark thousands of years before C. familiaris palustris appeared at Lake Ladoga. 
The new type is named C. familiaris palustris svardborgensis. The wolf is seen as 
ancestor for the large breeds of dogs, the jackal as probable progenitor for the 
small breeds.

bary type (Sus scrofa palustris and Ovis aries palustris), and the few goat remains 
are identified as Capra hircus. The dogs at Bunds¢ showed closest resemblance to 
Canis familiaris palustris ladogensis.

Description of the remains of a new type of domestic sheep from a Swiss lake 
dwelling, but found in other European Neolithic sites as well. The stouter bones 
and heavier horns clearly distinguish this type from the turbary sheep (Ovis aries 
palustris) and it is named by the author Ovis aries studeri; since it seems to appear 
at the threshold of the Copper Age it is referred to as ‘“‘copper sheep.”’ 


The copper sheep is seen as an offspring from a cross of the turbary sheep with 
the wild mouflon.

its relation to the races of domestic horses. Carnegie Inst. Washington, 
publ. 73, vol. II, part 6, pp. 339-442, pls. 71-91. 


Extensive and detailed treatment of the osteological material from the pre- 
historic site at Anau in southwestern Turkestan. Domestic species identified and 
described were dog, pig, cattle, sheep, goat, camel and horse. The dog of Anau 
is of the type Canis familiaris matris optimae, which resembles the dingo as well as 
the fossil Canis poutiatini (cf. Studer, 1906) and is derived from one of them. 
Remains of pig, very common in later strata, are close to Sus vittatus and regarded 
as the oldest trace of the turbary pig. The bovid of the lower layers from Anau is 
identified with wild Bos namadicus, but during later periods a domesticated long- 
horned type of cattle originated from this wild form. Among the sheep bones 
(about 20 per cent in all levels), the author distinguishes the wild Ovis vignei arkal 
and a domestic form, O. aries palustris, which is considered a direct descendant of 
the former. Domestic goat (Capra hircus) and camel yielded few fragments and 
only in the uppermost layers; it is suggested that both were imported from the 
Iranian plateau. 


The numerous equid remains from Anau are designated as a desert type of 
horse—the oldest domestic breed of the Oriental group and named Equus caballus 
pumpellii. The horse of Anau, its genealogy and its connection with the other 
domestic horses are discussed in a special chapter (pp. 401-442). Three basic 
types for the domestic horse stock are suggested, all derived from FE. c. fossilis 
(a recent form of which is found in the Przewalski horse): (a) a steppe type (E. c. 
robustus), which gave rise to the Occidental horses; (b) a forest type (EH. c. neh- 
ringi), the ancestor of the Celtic pony; and (c) a desert type, the horse of Anau 
(ef. above).

Serological tests showed that the jackal and the wolf have the same affinity 
to the domestic dog; both are considered ancestors. The Australian Canis dingo 
is seen as a wild, never domesticated animal, though a related form gave rise to 
the pariah type, found at a domestic stage in the Anau culture.

the Egyptian ‘‘goat-horned sheep’”’ named O. |. palaeoaegypticus, which is taken 
to be the oldest domestic form of the long-legged and horizontally screw-horned 
breeds (as represented by the recent Walachian sheep).

The South African red Afrikaner cattle evolved from indigenous breeds by 
severe and careful selection. The nucleus was formed by the Hottentot cattle, 
which did not originate from a cross of Hamitie longhorn (primigenius type) with 
zebus, like most of the other African breeds (Zulu, Bechuana, Watusi and Damara 
cattle), but represents—according to craniological and other skeleton features — 
a pure zebu breed (derived from Bos namadicus), which is believed to have reached 
Africa via Bab-el-Mandeb and Ethiopia during the second millennium B.c. The 
author holds that the original characteristics of the zebu race are preserved in a 
purer form in the Afrikaner cattle than in the zebus of Asia, which have been 
exposed to the influence of shorthorned (brachyceros) breeds.

Archaeological evidences are brought together to prove that the wild horse 
was known to man in China in early Paleolithic times and was tamed in China

horse-breeding evolved in China from the taming of the indigenous wild horse. 
The ass, on the other hand, was introduced into China, together with mule and 
camel, by the Huns at the end of the third century B.c.

to the advent of man or introduced by the latter—are quoted. The “Wellington 
Caves Teeth” are compared with teeth of a modern domestic dog, and with those 
of the Tasmanian wolf and the Tasmanian devil. The author concludes that a dog 
did exist in New South Wales in Post-Tertiary times, and that some of the teeth 
are those of a dog.

An outline of the probable polyphyletic origin of domestic horses from several 
distinct species which persisted from pre-glacial times almost unaltered to recent 
days. Three distinct types of living horses are distinguished and described: the 
wild Equus przewalskii, the Celtic pony, and the Norse horse, the two latter called 
E. caballus celticus and E. c. typicus, respectively. In addition to these, several 
African and Oriental varieties are suggested as possible ancestors of modern breeds. 


1907a. On skulls of horses from the Roman Fort at Newstead near Melrose, 
with observations on the origin of the domestic horse. Trans. roy. Soc. 
Edinb., vol. 45, part 3, pp. 555-587, 1 table, 17 figs., 3 pls. 


Among the horse remains from the Roman Fort at Newstead, Scotland, dated 
to the first and second centuries A.D., three distinct kinds of skulls are distinguished. 
A comparative study of the skulls of living varieties with the skulls of Newstead 
proved that (a) long, bent skulls from Newstead are almost identical with the skull 
of Equus przewalskii; (b) very narrow skulls agree with those of typical Celtic 
ponies (and also some Arabian horses); (c) broad-faced skulls resemble closely the 
skulls of horses of the ‘‘forest type,” frequently met with in northern Europe and 
in northern and western Africa. 


The new evidence confirms the previous view of the author on the origin of the 
tamed horse (ef. Ewart, 1904), and three groups of domestic horses are recognized: 
(a) The “steppe variety,’ which has either sprung from or is closely allied to 
Przewalski’s horse; this group comprises the Oriental horses, including the tarpan, 
which is taken to be a feral horse. (b) The “‘plateau variety,’’ which includes two 
races, the ‘‘Celtic,’’ adapted for a subarctic habitat and widely distributed in pre- 
historic Europe, and the “Libyan’”’ (identical with Equus caballus libycus; ef. 
Ridgeway, 1905), adapted for a subtropical region. (c) The “forest variety” 
(identical with the Norse horse; ef. Ewart, 1904), derived from the wild Equus 
robustus, found in alluvial deposits in France. 


The Arabian horses are considered partly of the steppe and partly of the forest 
type. Most of the recent breeds, which are reviewed briefly, carry blood of sev- 
eral ancestors. 


1907b. The derivation of the modern horse. Quart. Rev., vol. 206, no. 411. 


After a short review of the theories on the origins of the domestic horse, evi- 
dence is produced to show that the three types of recent horses, forest, plateau, 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 45 


and steppe types (cf. Ewart, 1907a), were already present in prehistoric times and 
go back to three distinct Paleolithic ancestors. 


1909. The possible ancestors of the horses living under domestication. Science,

In a brief discussion of the probable ancestors of the domestic races of horses 
the author claims a polyphyletic origin from several (at least five) Pleistocene 
forms. To the three forms previously established (cf. Ewart, 1907a, b), a “‘Si- 
walik”’ type is added, to include horses allied to Equus sivalensis of the Pliocene 
deposits found in the Siwalik Hills of India. Slender-limbed forms are derived 
either from EF. gracilis libycus (syn., E. caballus libycus; ef. Ridgeway, 1905) or 
from a cross of the latter with E. robustus.

mals. 27th Ann. Rep., Bur. Anim. Industry, 1910, Washington, pp. 125- 
186, 7 figs. 


In the second part of this article the author gives a detailed description of the 
characteristics of ancient domestic breeds and deals at length with the origin of 
sheep, cattle and domestic horses. It is suggested that some of the long-tailed 
European breeds of sheep descended from the urial or from mouflons, but the 
spiral-horned varieties were perhaps derived from the argali type (cf. Ewart, 1913, 
1914). The Celtic shorthorn (Bos longifrons) is considered to be more intimately 
related to longhorned zebus than to Bos primigenius; other British races, however 
(Galloway, Cadrow cattle), are regarded as of the primigenius type; Aberdeen- 
Angus cattle are derived from an ancient Oriental race. Gaur and banteng are 
considered as descendants of Bos acutifrons of the Punjab. 


A full description is given of the four types of domesticated horses distin- 
guished by the author: the forest, plateau, steppe and Siwalik types (cf. Ewart, 
1907a, b, 1909). The latter is related to the Pliocene Equus sivalensis, or to its more 
specialized relative, E. stenonis of Europe.

pp. 160-191, figs. 30-67. 


After referring to characteristics and distribution of the present types of 
wild sheep, an attempt is made to indicate the part that the varieties of the mouflon 
(Ovis orientalis and O. musimon) and the urial (O. vignei) have played in forming 
modern breeds. Special attention is directed to the Shetland sheep of the peat 
or turbary type (O. aries palustris), which retains the main characteristics of 
the urial ancestor, and to the semi-wild sheep of the islands of Soay, some of 
which resemble the urial while others appear to be closely related to the mouflon 
or to its early domesticated ancestor, the so-called “‘copper sheep’”’ (cf. Diirst, 
1904). It is suggested that a tame mouflon and the urial, the latter in the form 
of the domestic turbary sheep, met and blended early in the Bronze Age.

By examining sheep remains from alluvial deposits of the Thames Valley 
and by studying skeletons of wild and domestic forms, primitive and improved, 
evidences are obtained that besides the urial and the mouflon (cf. Ewart, 1913), 
the wild argali (Ovis ammon) has also contributed to domestic breeds of sheep. 
Argali characters are found in subfossil sheep material from the Thames alluvium 
and in the fat-rumped breeds of Bukhara and Turkestan.

The wild ancestors of domestic ungulates and their geographic distribution 
are investigated in order to localize the areas of domestication. ‘‘Natural areas’’ 
of domestication are marked for the various groups in Africa, Asia and Europe 
and contrasted to “economic areas’ of domestication in these continents. The 
dependence of pigments upon geographic and ecological factors is stressed (pp. 
107-117). The author holds that the morphological influence of human culture 
on domestic forms has usually been insignificant in comparison with the influence 
of the natural environment. A geographical map schematizes the “natural areas”’ 
of domestication.

This historical survey covers the origins of the domestic dog, reindeer and 
horse. The philological aspects are emphasized, but zoological information is 
considered. The author finds the cradle of the domestic dog (chap. 3) in the 
Protoeskimoid culture in arctic Siberia and associates with the rearing of the 
dog the earliest breeding of reindeer (chap. 4) among the Protosamojeds. The 
keeping of reindeer is considered to be the most ancient pastoral culture and it 
eventually gave rise to the domestication of the horse (chap. 6), practiced first 
in Asia by the Proto-Altaian tribes.

pp. 187-208. E. J. Brill (Leiden). 


The camel and the dromedary are separate species, independently domesticated 
from different wild species. The camel was probably domesticated in central 
Asia in late Neolithic times, the dromedary in Arabia, perhaps somewhat earlier. 
Neither animal was adopted by peoples of historical cultures for several millen- 
niums, although both species were known to the Akkadians; the Egyptians, from 
pre-dynastic times onward, had rare contacts with dromedary-owning Bedouins. 


The Assyrians were the first historical people to use these animals, the camel 
from about 1100 B.c. onward, the dromedary from approximately 800 B.c. Trans- 
desert traffic by means of dromedary caravans came only with the Persian Empire. 
Although the dromedary existed wild in northern Africa in prehistoric times, there 
is no evidence that it was domesticated there, and its use west of the Nile spread 
slowly, even after its introduction into Egypt about 300 B.c.—C.A.R.

1954. Faunal remains. Jn Excavations at Star Carr: An Early Mesolithic 
Site at Seamer near Scarborough, Yorkshire, by J. G. D. Clark, pp. 70-95. 
Cambridge, at the University Press. 


The Star Carr horizon of the Maglemosian (Mesolithic) culture belongs to 
an earlier period (a late phase of the pre-Boreal, or Zone IV) of post-glacial time 
than did the classic Maglemosian sites of Denmark and the shores of the Baltic. 
A wide variety of animal remains was found, but none were domestic species, 
although an earlier report (Proc. prehist. Soc., 1950, vol. 15, pp. 109-129) had 
suggested the presence of the domestic dog. However, all canid materials proved 
to belong to the wolf. The absence of a dog is particularly interesting in view 
of the C' determination (9488+350 years), which is so close to the suggested 
date of 9000 years ascribed to the dog found at Frankfort (cf. Baas, 1938).—C.A.R.

Animal representations from four sites in southwestern Asia—Mohenjo-Daro 
near the Indus, Tell Halaf in northern and Ur in southern Mesopotamia, and 
Maikop in northern Caucasia—are described, and problems of domestication in 
the fourth and third millenniums B.c. in this area are worked out. Earliest domestic 
animals of southwestern Asia, according to their representations, are Bos primi- 
genius, spread over all the area and, in Mohenjo-Daro, accompanied by B. namad- 
icus; sheep (Ovis aries in India, O. vignei in Mesopotamia and O. orientalis in 
Maikop); and goat. Those species are followed somewhat later by camels (at 
Tell Halaf), horses and asses, both the latter indicated by the occurrence of mules.

Domestic mammals, mammals depending upon flight for survival, and very 
social animals such as baboons produce a high proportion of adrenalin to nor- 
adrenalin, whereas aggressive animals such as the lion have a higher proportion 
of nor-adrenalin. The domestic cat produces about equal amounts of each. Adren- 
alin and nor-adrenalin are both hormones secreted by the medulla of the adrenal 
gland; nor-adrenalin is associated with emotional and physiological reactions 
accompanying rage, whereas adrenalin is associated with those of fear.—C.A.R.

The carabao, kept as an animal of the household and for cult purposes by the 
mountain tribes of the Philippines, cannot be derived from the only indigenous 
bovid (Bos mindorensis). Looking for the cradle of the domestic carabao and 
discussing the date of its introduction to the islands, the author concludes that 
Austro-Asiatie invaders brought the tamed animal from the Asian continent.

Based on recent archaeological evidence (cf. Dyson, 1953), there has been a 
complete reversal of ethnological theory concerning origins of domestication. 
Former ideas of the antiquity and independence of horse and reindeer breeding 
by nomads of central and northern Eurasia must be abandoned in favor of the 
concept of primary domestication of goats, sheep, cattle, and pigs by the early 
farmers (or their immediate ancestors) of southwestern Asia.—C.A.R.

A survey of the domestic and semi-domestic fauna of Egypt at the time of 
the Old Kingdom as reflected by animal figurines, sculptures and paintings from 
the ancient monuments. Besides the domestication of sheep, mamber-goat and 
longhorned cattle, which are dealt with briefly, the author finds evidence in the 
animal representations for a taming of the Nubian wild goat (Ibex nubiana), 
the dorcas gazelle, the Beatrix antelope (Oryx), and the addax (Addax nasomaculata) 
during several dynasties.

ceros were identified; both species were considered to belong to wild and indigenous

races. Most of the species represented in Toukh are regarded as probably domes- 
ticated; they included cattle, pig, dog, buffalo, goat and sheep. Cattle remains 
were most frequent and belonged to the brachyceros type, the pig was of the turbary 
race (Sus scrofa aff. palustris), sheep were identified as Ovis longipes palaeoaegypticus 
(ef. Diirst and Gaillard, 1902), and among the goat remains two species were 
distinguished—the mamber goat (Hircus mambricus) and H. reversus.

An archaeological-chronological analysis of the Neolithic comb-ceramic culture 
of northeastern Europe (third millennium B.c.) is followed by an investigation 
of its domestic stock. The finds from the Russian site at Bologoe (Gouv. Novgerod) 
are described and treated in detail. The only domestic animal of this culture 
was the dog, used for hunting. It also provided food and fur. The dog remains 
belong to two forms: Canis familiaris palustris and the larger C. f. inostranzewzt. 
The author opposes the view that the larger gave rise to the smaller turbary 
form and suggests that the reverse may have been true.

Remains of Neolithic canids from northern Germany, especially from sites 
in Schleswig-Holstein, are described and discussed. In the early Neolithic sites 
(Kiel, Klausdorf) two forms appeared: Canis palustris ladogensis and C. intermedius. 
In the high Neolithic (Ellebeck, Husum) C. palustris appeared as the result of a 
more intensive domestication. A dog (the body preserved in peat) from the 
early Iron Age showed affinities to C. pallipes and a marked influence of the north 
European wolf. 


The first part of the paper contains a discussion of the customary craniometric 
methods for canids, with a guide to new ones.

On the basis of a study of the cattle remains from a Celtie site (400-58

bovid of this site also belongs to the brachycephalus race, as cattle of primi- 
genius type are lacking.

1927. [Material on the knowledge of the fauna of the Tripolje culture.| Yezhe- 
godik Zoologicheskogo Muzeia, Akad. Nauk SSSR., pp. 83-121 (in Russian). 


Detailed description and summary of the animal remains collected from 
five sites in the central sphere of the Tripolje culture (near Kiev, Ukraine). The 
great majority of the bones (86 per cent) belonged to domestic species, among 
which cattle were represented most frequently (37 per cent), followed by pig 
(23 per cent) and sheep or goat (15 per cent). Other animals recognized were 
domestic horse (6 per cent) and dog. The preponderance of cattle over pig, 
sheep and goat and the insignificance of horse-keeping are seen as main char- 
acteristics for the domestic fauna of this Tripolje (B) culture. 

Among the wild fauna, Bos primigenius, apparently hunted in Tripolje A, was 
identified, and most of the domestic oxen from Tripolje are taken to be the direct 
result of domestication of the wild urus, though some cattle of brachyceros type 
were recorded as well.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 51 


The study is based on large collections of skeletons of domestic dogs from 
North American archaeological sites. These dogs resemble Old World domestic 
dogs, not native wild North American canids. North American aboriginal dogs 
are classified into 8 morphologic breeds, distinguishable primarily on a size basis 
(the husky is the largest). For any area, small size of dog is correlated with 
older archaeological horizon and also with poverty of human cultural remains. 
The necessity is stressed of making statistical analyses of large series before 
attempting conclusions. The study lends support to the idea that the dog was 
derived from a small wolf-like form not approximated by any of the living boreal 
wolves, and that domestication occurred not long before 6000 B.c. It is thought 
that the ancestors of the dog, as scavengers, adopted man long before man adopted 
and domesticated the dog. Probably the domestic dog was introduced to North 
America about 500 B.c. by a people with a late Mesolithic culture. —C.A.R.

In his ethnological study the author sees in religious rites and cult associations 
the origin of domestication of oxen, and, following it, the origin of plough-culture 
in general. Herd animals (and eventually pastoralism) as well as horse-breeding 
and camel-breeding came out of this early seed-and-plough agriculture, practiced 
first in Mesopotamia.

introduced into Europe, it may have mated with European wild cats occasionally.

A comprehensive survey of the Russian literature concerned with the latest 
archaeological excavations of the Tripolje settlements, the Neolithic complex of 
the Ukrainian steppe. Special attention is directed toward the change in the com- 
position of the domestic stock from the “classical” stage (Tripolje B), in which 
tillage appeared to have been the principal economic base, to the final stage (Tri- 
polje C, ca. 2100-1700 B.c.; demonstrated by the sites at Horodsk and Usatovo), 
which is characterized by a marked increase in the number of domestic animals 
(identified at Usatovo): sheep (48 per cent), cattle (28 per cent), horse (13 per cent), 
and goat, pig and dog (only a few fragments). The great increase in the frequency 
of sheep and horse (associated with a decrease of pig) becomes evident by a com- 
parison with the faunal composition from Tripolje B (ef. Gromova, 1927).

A collection of references on the biology of the reindeer and on the history of

deer nomadism is seen as responsible for the slight degree of domestication in the 
tamed reindeer (when compared to other domestic animals), and therefore does not 
indicate the recent origin of their domestication; however, it is not considered to 
be a very ancient achievement.

A primitive, small breed of pig from Tschuwasia (Chuvash, former Gouv. 
Kazan) is investigated (46 skulls) and compared with wild and domestic pigs 
(fossil and recent) of other races. The Tschuwasian pig exhibits a close affinity 
to the Neolithic turbary pig (Sus scrofa palustris). It is distinct from the surround- 
ing domestic breeds but resembles wild forms. Presumably the breed was brought 
in by the ancestors of the Tschuwasians (of Turkish origin) and probably it was 
originally domesticated in the area of Kuen-Lun or Tien-Shan.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 53 


The work (first edition, 1870) is an attempt to investigate the history and dis- 
persal of civilization in general and of cultivated plants and domestic animals in 
particular on the basis of a study of comparative linguistics. The author comes to 
the conclusion that the domestication of numerous animals was started in the 
Orient, and that from there the idea of domestication together with the animals 
themselves spread to Greece, Italy, and later to the remaining European countries. 
Among the domestic mammals the story of the horse is examined at greatest length 
(pp. 19-54). Its cradle is found among Iranian tribes, whence it was received by 
Indo-Europeans only after they became established in their historical places of 
residence. Rabbit, cat and cattle are dealt with more briefly.

This book, based to a great extent upon original exploration, deals extensively 
with the sources and developments of the herdsmen-cultures in A mdo (=Tsing 
Hai, northwestern Tibet) and with the origin of cattle-breeding in general. The 
cradle of stock-farming is sought in western Asia (probably western Turkestan). 
The earliest breeds are sheep and goat, followed soon afterward by domestic oxen 
(in the ancient herdsmen-culture of A mdo only sheep and yak were known as 
breeds). Somewhat later, ass and onager became domesticated; much later, camel, 
horse and reindeer. 

Appended are tables on the origin of the most important domestic breeds, 
chronological lists, maps and a comprehensive bibliography.

A survey of various domestic animals of India and their related wild forms: 
gayal, banteng, water buffalo, yak, zebu, sheep, goat, camel, pig and kiang (Hquus 
onager indicus). The gayal (Bibos frontalis) is considered an offspring of the wild 
gaur male and the domestic cow. For the Indian humped cattle (zebu) a specific 
wild, probably indigenous ancestor (not Bos namadicus) is suggested. Cattle and 
sheep constituted the oldest domestic stock of prehistoric Asia, followed later by 
horse and reindeer. 

The northwest Indian highlands together with the Iranian and Tibetan plateau 
are seen as the center where cattle-breeding originated, perhaps as early as the 
Mesolithic (9000 B.c.).

A description of the most ancient cattle of primigenius type from northern 
Europe, found in Schleswig-Holstein (Moor of Satrupholm) and dated to the early 
Neolithic (8000-1800 B.c.). The find seems to indicate domestication in northern 
Europe, and though the primigene character is dominant the skull shows also a 
slight resemblance to the brachyceros type. The author assumes that at the same 
time and in different localities primigenius and brachyceros groups were developed 
from the domesticated urus. Animals with mixed characters from the Neolithic 
are seen as the primitive material and not as results of later crosses.

The author points to the great variability in size and form of teeth and in size and 
powerfulness of lower jaw bones, which characters cannot be associated per se with 
general size and skull-form of domesticated races or their wild ancestors. Effects 
of domestication are considered to be due to selection rather than to physiologi-

to the wild guanaco, Llama guanicée.

influence of artificial selection, heredity in domestic animals, and other subjects.

Wauwy] in Switzerland. Goat and sheep—the former appearing in the lower strata 
more and in the upper ones much less frequently than the latter—are both of the 
turbary type; the ‘‘copper sheep’’ (Ovis artes studeri) is absent. Remains of the 
domestic turbary pig (Sus palustris) are very distinct from those of the wild boar 
(Sus scrofa) found in the same levels, so that a relationship is doubted. All the 
dog material belongs to Canis palustris, and cattle also are represented by the 
turbary form (Bos taurus brachyceros) only. The few fragments of equids are 
probably those of a wild horse.

A systematic study of the remains of domestic animals from two Neolithic sites

tail. The remains of dogs (skulls of which are the best preserved, since the animal 
did not serve for food) constituted about 9.5 per cent of the material; all belong 
to the palustris group. The turbary pig—remains of which were found in addition 
to those of the European wild boar—were 28 per cent of the total remains and were 
outnumbered only by cattle, the latter identified as Bos taurus brachyceros. Osteo- 
logical differences between the brachyceros oxen and the wild urus are worked out. 
Goats were all of the sable-horned Capra hircus type.

1955. Skeletal differences between deer, sheep, and goats. Calif. Fish Game, 
vol. 41, pp. 327-346, 9 figs. 


This paper, useful to the anatomist working with bones from archaeological 
sites, is concerned with the post-cranial skeletons of domestic sheep and goats, 
and a North American deer, Odocoileus. The applicability of the information on 
the latter to Old World deer remains to be tested. Domestic sheep are best set 
apart from domestic goats by characters of the metacarpal, scapula, pelvis, and 
ulna. The femur is the bone least distinguishable. Individual variations are strik- 
ing, and the necessity of using statistical techniques on large series is stressed.—

After a detailed morphological (esp. craniological) examination of North Afri- 
can races of jackals and a discussion of their classification, skulls of domestic dogs 
from sites of ancient Egypt are described, and conclusions are drawn as to the origin 
of the breeds. One of the jackals, Canis lupaster, is considered to be certainly the 
ancestor for certain Egyptian domestic dogs, two others probable progenitors for 
the other ancient breeds in Egypt. 


In four tables craniological data of wolves, jackals and domestic dogs are 
compared.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 


~ 


or 


A popular guide to domestic mammals and birds, their origin and history. 
After an introductory chapter, presenting general trends in the evolution of do- 
mestication, the book describes each of the domestic stocks and its history. Dog 
and horse are treated at considerable length; cat, rabbit, ass, pig, camel, llama, 
reindeer, cattle, sheep and goat are covered briefly. The text is well illustrated, 
from zoological and archaeological sources. 


1913. Uberblick iiber die Geschichte der Haustierforschung, besonders der 
letzten 30 Jahre. Zool. Ann., Bd. V, pp. 233-254. Wiirzburg. 


A critical survey of the literature on the origin and history of the domestic cat, 
camel, llama and reindeer. A bibliographical list of the literature on the origin 
of the first two animals is added. 


1926. Natiirliche Rassengeschichte der Haussdugetiere. 235 pp., 124 figs. 
Walter de Gruyter & Co. (Berlin & Leipzig). 


Problems, evidences—based largely upon investigations by the author—and 
recent views on the ancestry of domestic mammals are brought together in a semi- 
popular manual. 


In the first section, which deals with the concept of domestication in general 
and the morphological changes in the domestic stage, special attention is devoted 
to the phenomenon of developmental arrest in skull-form due to domestication, 
which trend is traced through the various domestic groups and treated in the next 
section of the book. 


The second part deals at length with the origin of dogs, equids, cattle, sheep, 
goats and pigs. The wolf is taken as the only progenitor of domestic dogs. The 
Russian tarpan is accepted as ancestor of the Oriental breeds, the Celtic pony re- 
garded as a special type. For the domestic ass a monophyletic origin is suggested; 
any connection with the half-ass (onager) group is contested. 


A discussion of buffalo, Indian oxen and yak is followed by a detailed treat- 
ment of the relationship between the urus and domestic cattle and of the post- 
embryonic development of the bovine skull. The urus is taken as the only an- 
cestral form for domestic cattle, though domestication took place repeatedly in 
different localities and at various periods. Domestic sheep are derived mainly 
from the Ovis vignei group, argali and European mouflon being of only minor im- 
portance as ancestral forms. The domestic goat is traced back to Capra aegagrus, 
C. prisca and C. falconeri, the Kirghiz goat (cf. Philiptschenko, 1928) being seen 
as the only living derivation from the latter. The existence of a wild Mediter- 
ranean form of pigs (Sus mediterranaeus) is doubted, all the domestic breeds of 
pigs being descendants of Sus scrofa or S. vittatus. Camel (the question of mono- 
or diphyletic origin is left open), reindeer, cat and rabbit are treated more briefly. 


1927. Rind. In M. Ebert, Reallexikon der Vorgeschichte, Bd. XI, pp. 137-141. 


A brief survey of the origin of European cattle and the cattle tribe in general. 
Since all the ancient as well as the now living races of domestic cattle (genus Bos) 
belong to the taurine group (parietals and interparietals displaced from forehead), 
all of them must be traced back to the only taurine wild ox known so far—the urus. 


All primigenius, frontosus and longifrons (=brachyceros) forms are products of 
domestication; the hornless domestic forms, appearing in various groups of bovids 


58 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


(yak, buffalo, ete.), cannot be derived from a single hornless ancestor (e.g., Bos 
taurus akeratos, as supposed by Arenander).

tion.—Hin Beitrag zur Rassengeschichte der Haustiere. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., 
Bd. XII, pp. 85-118, 24 figs. 


Investigating the postembryonic development of the skull in domestic pigs, 
dogs and cattle, the author finds that wide variations in the form and shape of the 
skull of domestic mammals are caused by developmental persistence in different 
ontogenetic stages. This phenomenon of domestication is taken to explain cranio- 
logical distinction between certain races in spite of their monophyletic origin. 


1932. Dogs. Antiquity, vol. 6, no. 23, pp. 411-419, 2 figs., 12 pls. 


A discussion of certain problems related to the history of the domestic dog. 
The status of the dingo and of the pariah dog is examined, and a number of types 
belonging to different periods and countries— terriers from the Swiss lake-dwell- 
ings, mastiffs from the Neolithic Baltic countries, greyhounds from ancient Egypt 
—are described, mainly on the basis of pictorial evidence. It is suggested that 
all breeds of dogs, with the possible exception of ancient Egyptian races and their 
derivatives (the greyhounds), have evolved from the wolf.

A study of skulls and horns reveals three sharply distinct groups of wild goats: 
Capra prisca Adam., C. hircus L. and C. falconeri Wagner. Being readily crossed 
mutually and giving rise to fertile offspring, the three types could have produced 
many transitional forms by cross-breeding; only the first two, however, are taken 
into consideration as ancestors for the domestic breeds of goat. 


The goats in central Asia, with markhor horns and bezoar characters, origi- 
nated probably from a later cross-breeding with goats of the Capra prisca type.

pp. 336-337. 
Short preliminary report on the faunal remains from Tell-Asmar (cf. Hilz- 
heimer, 1941) and on the frequency of domestic species at the site. A brief account 
is presented of the position of the tamed onager in Sumer. 


1935. The evolution of the domestic horse. Antiquity, vol. 9, no. 34, pp. 133- 
139, 9 pls. 


The author deals briefly with the taming of the Asiatic half-ass (Equus hemi- 
onus) by Sumerians around 3000 B.c. and with the occurrence of the domestic ass 
in the early periods of Egyptian history; the origin and dispersal of the domestic 
horse are also examined. 


The habitats of the types under consideration—Przewalski’s horse (Equus 
equiferus Pallas) and the tarpan (E. gmelini Antonius)—are traced throughout

the critical periods, and the author concludes that both recent groups of breeds, the 
Oriental as well as the Occidental, are derived from the Russian tarpan. 


1936. Sheep. Antiquity, vol. 10, no. 38, pp. 195-206, 8 pls. 


A survey of the living groups of wild sheep is followed by an examination of 
archaeological and philological evidence concerning the origin of the domestic 
sheep. The author finds three possible lines of ancestry for them, all to be looked 
for in Asia: the Asiatic mouflon (Ovis orientalis), the urial (O. vignev) and the argali 
(O. ammon); the latter is not considered to have been important for Kuropean 
breeds. 


1941. Animal remains from Tell Asmar. Stud. Ane. Oriental Civiliz., no. 20, 
xiii +52 pp., 20 figs., 8 tables. 


A study of fossil material collected at the Northern Palace in Tell Asmar 
(Mesopotamia) in 1932, 1933 and 1934-35. The position of the Asiatic onager or 
half-ass (Equus onager hemippus)—bones of which constituted 9 per cent of the 
total skeletal material—and its relationship to the domestic ass and the domestic 
horse are discussed in detail in the light of the osteological material. Other do- 
mestie species identified and treated are: Sus sp. (29.1 per cent of the total), 
Ovis sp. and Capra prisca (together 27.7 per cent), Bos taurus primigenius (13.5 
per cent) and Canis familaris palustris (8 per cent). 


Table VIII (pp. 49-51) summarizes the findings and their sources.

A collection of subfossil mammals is dated at 650 B.C. on the basis of pollen 
analysis. A large dog is recorded, of the Great Dane-Newfoundland-St. Bernard 
type. The domestic cat is listed, on the basis of right humerus and tibia and left 
os coxae, all smaller than those of Felis silvestris, the European wild cat. This is 
the earliest record of the domestic cat in northern Europe, and also the earliest 
record of such a large breed of dog.—C.A.R.

for the treatment of race- and draft-horses. The technical terms are, in part, of 
Indo-European origin.

Description of a dog-skull from the Neolithic lake dwelling at Clairvaux (Jura) 
and a comparison with other prehistoric canid skulls (Canis f. palustris, C. f. matris 
optimae, C. f. leineri, ete.). The new dog is craniologically distinct from all the other 
forms (high, convex forehead, broad jugals, slender palate) and is taken as a new 
type, called Canis le mirei Hue.

Study of a mandible and teeth of a prehistoric domestic dog from the Neo- 
lithie dwelling places at Lake Chalain (Jura). Although few specific odontological 
characters are worked out, the dog is identified as belonging to the type of Canis 
familiaris palustris Rutim.

Some data are given about two ancient dogs from the West Indies, not dealt 
with in most treatments. The extinct ‘‘aleo,’’ remains of which were found in 
caves on Jamaica, Haiti and San Domingo, was the domestic dog of the Arawak 
Indians and is regarded as ancestral to the Mexican pug. The “‘xibaro”’ (=hibaro) 
is very similar to the Aguara dog of Surinam (Netherlands Guiana), and its iden- 
tity with the Brasilian roe-dog is suggested.

Several cases of skeletal finds (mainly teeth) belonging to camels, discovered

Evidence from Neolithic domestication in Britain and other European cul- 
tures is summarized briefly and problems connected with prehistoric animals—- 
especially ox and horse—are posed. The identity of the domestic cattle of pre- 
historic England (the longifrons type) with the Bos brachyceros stock of the Con- 
tinent is questioned. The domestic status of horses, remains of which were found 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 61 


at Neolithic sites in Great Britain (Cotswolds, Glamorgan, northern Wales), is 
doubted, and the possibility of an independent domestication of at least two wild 
species of horses—somewhere north of the Iranian Plateau and somewhere near 
or in Seandinavia—is suggested.

Bones of ox, sheep, and pig, from cultural levels of the Amratian period in the

domestic animals. There is a useful summary of prior finds of animals (domestic 
and other) in prehistoric Egypt.—C.A.R.

1950. The Karasuk culture and its southeastern affinities. The Museum of 
Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, Bull. no. 22, pp. 83-126, 16 pls. 


In a short summary of publications (mainly from Russian literature) on the 
Karasuk culture of Minusinsk (northern Siberia), the author presents some details 
on the domestic stock as reflected by remains of animals sacrificed as mortuary 
food gifts. In graves from eighteen sites sheep constituted by far the major part 
of the remains, followed in frequency by cattle. Few bones belonged to horses. 
In one site forelegs of camels and in a grave from another site the full skeleton of a 
domestic dog were found. 


The sudden importance of sheep-raising and its predominance in the Karasuk 
culture (1200-700 B.c.) contrasted with the former (Andronovo-) period, during 
which domestic animals were distributed about equally, is emphasized and seen 
as a significant feature, showing affinities to a similar process in northern Chinese 
cultures.

A review of the results of numerous Russian excavations, and a survey of re- 
cent views concerning the origin of the domestication of reindeer. All the data 
seem to prove that the taming of reindeer could never have influenced the domesti- 
cation of cattle, sheep or horses; the reverse could have been possible. 


An extensive bibliography, especially from the Russian language, is appended.

62 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


A eraniological (mainly odontological) investigation of the dingo on the basis 
of much material (22 skulls). The author concludes that the dingo is not indige- 
nous—that it arrived relatively recently in Australia. It was brought by a sea 
route by man from the Asian continent as already a variety of the domestic dog, 
and it became feral thereafter. The name Canis dingo is therefore rejected, and 
the name Canis familiaris dingo is suggested.

Description and evaluation of the skeletal remains collected during the exca- 
vations near Beer-Sheba (southern Israel) and dated to about 3000 B.c. The 
domestic fauna (95% of the determined material) is considered as typical for a 
semi-nomadie population at the dawn of domestication. It comprised mainly 
sheep (60.2%), followed by goat (16.7%) and ox (12.8%). Dog and horse were 
represented by a few fragments only.

Soe. Edinburgh, vol. 48, part 1, no. 2, pp. 10-24. 


Serological (iso-agglutination) methods were used to determine the origin of 
the European sheep. Two main groups, A and O, could be distinguished, the latter 
divided into two sub-groups, one with and the other without anti-A. 


Mouflons (from the zoological gardens at Vienna and Budapest) proved to 
belong to group A. Since the majority of the Polish domestic sheep belong to the 
same group, a relationship to the mouflon is probable. English Southdown sheep 
show no serological affinity to mouflons.

beyer (Ziirich). 


A comprehensive manual on the derivation and origin of most domestic mam- 
mals. Chap. 1—4 explain the methods used and give the cultural background, the 
zoological aspects and a review of 19th century literature and research. Each of 
the next eight chapters is devoted to a specific animal group and is divided into 
three sections: (a) an account of the fossil and archaeological evidence; (b) infor- 
mation on the distribution of the related wild form; (c) a discussion and a phylo- 
genetic summary. 


Dogs and cattle are dealt with extensively. Races of Old World dogs are 
traced back to two species of wolves (Canis sinensis and C. niger) and the jackal 
(C. aureus); the ancient New World dogs are regarded as indigenous and derived 
from the North American wolf (Lupus occidentalis). Domestic bovines are classi- 
fied into a European (Bos taurus) group, derived from Bos primigenius, and an 
Asiatic zebu group (B. indicus), descended from the banteng (Bos sondaicus). 
The banteng is also considered the ancestor of the southeastern European brachy- 
ceros type. For sheep a triphyletic origin is suggested, for goats and for horses a 
diphyletice descent; Frank’s classification of the latter into Oecidental and Oriental 
breeds is retained. The camel and the domestic cat are also treated.

A popular discussion of general problems of domestication is followed by a 
treatment of specific animals and their phylogeny. Described are the ‘ancient 
domestic mammals”’ (dogs, equids, pigs, ruminants), the ‘“‘more recent achieve- 
ments”’ (reindeer, rabbit) and finally the domestic birds.

Brief description of methods used to investigate the origins of domestic spe- 
cies. The author distinguishes the following methods: (a) zoogeographical; (b) ana- 
tomical; (c) prehistoric (by investigation of fossil material); (d) physiological 
(using fertile hybrids as criteria of close relationship and serological methods); 
(e) ethnographical; (f) archaeological; and (g) linguistic.

Schweines. Z. ges. Anat. 1. Z. Anat. EntwGesch., Bd. 108, pp. 499-559, 
29 figs. 


The wild boars of the scrofa-vittatus group are shown to belong to one species 
(formenkreis). Skulls of Sus scrofa scrofa (as representative of this wild form), 
from the new-born to the old animal, are compared with a corresponding onto- 
genetic sequence of skulls from the highly modified domestic Berkshire pig. Even 
at birth the skulls show a characteristic difference, but in the course of postembry- 
onic development distinct tendencies in growth cause increasing discrepancy be- 
tween the skulls of the wild boar and the Berkshire. 


The author contests a “retention of juvenile characters’’ as solution for the 
characteristics of domestication, which latter he seeks to explain on the basis of a 
changed balance in the endocrine system.

A comprehensive treatise, dealing mainly with the origin of domestication in 
terms of the general aspects involved. The first part (‘‘genesis of domestication’’) 
tries to outline the human motives that led to the rise of domestication, and the 
zoological background that made it possible. In the second part (‘‘effects of do- 
mestication’’) the general morphological and physiological trends characteristic

of domestic animals are illustrated by rich comparative material, and an attempt 
is made to reveal the special evolutionary factors that seem to operate under the 
conditions of domestication. The third part (“history of domestic animals’) is 
subdivided into a general section, which deals with the various methods of research 
(zoological, culture-historical and philological), and a specific part, wherein is out- 
lined the origin of the main domestic mammals (in particular the dog and the 
ungulates).

A discussion of the evolutionary mechanism operating under domestication. 
After a short survey of the oldest historical civilizations and their domestic ani- 
mals, the pamphlet investigates the conditions of the domestic environment in 
relation to the morphological modifications recognized among domesticated ani- 
mals. The parallel occurrence of these modifications is regarded as the cardinal 
point in domestication and is explained by similar alterations of the hormone sys- 
tem, which becomes affected by the human-controlled environment.

The cattle depicted in the cave-paintings at Lascaux have been identified by 
prehistorians as Bos primigenius (the large forms with curved horns) and B. longi- 
frons (smaller, thinner, and with horns shorter and more horizontal). This latter, 
however, is nothing more than the female of B. primigenius. There was no sep- 
arate small species of Bos in the European Pleistocene. If the domestic cattle of 
the Neolithic and later are actually derived from small wild cattle these must 
have lived elsewhere, probably in western Asia, but there is no evidence for this 
supposition. (Zeuner [1953, Man, vol. 53, pp. 68-69] had already mentioned, in 
a discussion of the color of Bos primigenius, that the so-called Bos longifrons of 
Lascaux was actually the female of B. primigenius; Koby was presumably unaware 
of Zeuner’s paper.)—C.A.R.

On the basis of differences in the shape of the horns, the markhor, Capra fal- 
conert Wagner, is excluded as an ancestral type for any domestic form of goat. 
The heteronymous twisting in the horns of the markhor is distinct from the ho- 
monymous type of the screw-horned domestic breeds, and the cross section of the 
horn (keel at hind edge) is contrary to the domestie Capra hircus type (keel at 
front edge).

A paleozoological survey of the evolution of the Bovinae in general and the

recent breeds of cattle, their geographical distribution, and their history. The 
author accepts the view that Bos primigenius and B. brachyceros are both imme- 
diate ancestors of domestic cattle, and he adds two more species: B. indicus, which 
is considered forefather of the Asiatic humped cattle, and B. turano-mongolicus, 
which gave rise to the different breeds of central Asia (Kalmuck, Mongol, Yakut 
and Kirghiz cattle). 


Cattle-breeding probably originated in several regions, but southwestern Asia 
(i.e., Assyro-Babylonia) and northwestern India are regarded as the most ancient 
centers of domestication.

In a brief discussion of the beginnings and motives of animal domestication 
the author holds that hunting tribes were the first breeders, that the first domestic 
animals were reindeer and horse, and that the cradle of domestication was the sub-

Anthropological observations on Indian zebus and buffalos. In conclusion 
J. U. Diirst sketches the zoological characters of both the forms and then dis- 
cusses their origin (pp. 661-666). The tame Indian water-buffalo (Bubalus in- 
dicus macroceros) is seen as the direct descendant of the wild arni buffalo (Bubalus 
arnit), which became domesticated in India and was brought to Persia, where it 
appeared in the second century B.c._ Much earlier (in the third millennium B.c.), 
domestic cattle of the Bos taurus type—direct descendants of the wild Bos namadi- 
cus—were introduced into India by the nomadic Chorwa from the Anau region 
via the Zufilear Pass, and gave rise to the zebu stock, the marked hump being a 
result of selection on religious bases.

faunal remains from Vindonissa, which are described. The author compares the 
species of the Swiss lake-dwellings with the later forms introduced by the Romans, 
found in Vindonissa—large types of dogs, a new kind of sheep and big-horned goats. 
The discussion is based to a great extent also on representational art from early 
Roman times.

Kroll, Hubert 
1928. Die Haustiere der Bantu. Z. Ethn., Bd. 60, pp. 177-290, 6 maps. 


A detailed treatment of domestication, its role and significance, and the origin 
of domestie stock not only among the Bantu, but in southern and eastern Africa 
in general. Associated with the domestic forms all over the area, and therefore 
seen as the most ancient domestic animal, is a type of dog of African origin; only 
later a greyhound type was introduced, probably by the Hamites. 

Besides the dog, cattle and goat are considered the most ancient breeds, the 
former being the animal of the stock-farmer, the latter associated with cultivation 
of plants. The first herdsmen invading the Bantu area did not possess sheep, which 
were introduced later. Much later, the ass, pig, horse and cat were brought. 
With the exception of the ass, which was descended from an indigenous form, all 
the breeds of southern and eastern Africa (horse, cat, pig) are regarded as of 
European origin.

the morphological, physiological and psychological changes caused in the process 
of domestication. In chap. 4 (pp. 183-478) extensive material on the origin of 
the important domestic species and their early evolution is brought together, and 
recent views are summarized. Horse, ass, mule, cattle, sheep, goat, pig and rabbit 
are treated at length.

period. Domestic animals constituted most of the material, among which cattle 
were most numerous (often more than 50 per cent) in Neolithic times, followed by 
pigs (about 30 per cent). Sheep and goats were of minor importance. In Roman 
times sheep (the heavy-horned Ovis aries studeri), pigs and cattle constituted 
most of the domestic fauna.

Systematic study of new animal remains, excavated from Obermeilen (Lake 
Zurich) in 1933. This was the first site of lake-dwellings, the faunal remains of 
which were described by Riitimeyer as early as 1860-61. 

The faunal assemblage points to a late Neolithic period. Cattle and pig con- 
stitute the bulk of the domestic stock. The former is represented by two forms— 
a brachyceros and a primigenius type. The latter is identified as the turbary pig. 
All the dogs as well as the sheep belonged to the palustris type. The few equid 
remains were probably those of wild animals.

A detailed study of twenty skulls of the Lithuanian (Shmudic) horse breed, 
which is nearly extinct in its pure form. The skull of the Lithuanian horse shows 
it to be an autonomous, ancient branch of the Oriental group, which shows many

A detailed osteological treatment of recent Lithuanian horses and of fossil 
remains of horses from Baltic sites forms the basis for an investigation of the 
origin of the East European domestic horse, especially its relation to the tarpan 
and the Przewalski horse. 

All types of recent and prehistoric horses can be traced back to two basic 
types—Oriental and Occidental. The Lithuanian-Polish-Esthonian horse group 
is seen as one unit belonging to the Oriental type, with close affinities to the Prze- 
walski horse. The South Russian tarpan is considered a feral horse.

A review of the literature on the first occurrence of domestic animals. Only 
the dog is surely known from Mesolithic time. It belonged to a culture of hunters 
and gatherers. The beginnings of all the other domestic animals (cattle, pig, 
sheep, goat and horse) are found in earliest Neolithic (proto-Neolithic) times, 
their origin probably associated with the first cultivation of plants.

An account of the domestic stock of ancient South and Central America 
based upon archaeological excavations. Treated in detail among the mammalian 
fauna are dogs (chap. 1); species of the genus Auchenida—llama, alpaca, vicugna 
and guanaco (chap. 2); and the guinea pig (chap. 4). All those animals, kept 
as domestic breeds prior to the Spanish invasion, are without exception derived 
from indigenous wild forms. The dog had the widest distribution and therefore is 
regarded as the first animal that was domesticated. It is represented among 
the various cultures by many varieties.

On the basis of ethnographical data (Russian and early Chinese sources) 
an attempt is made to determine where and when reindeer breeding originated. 
It is concluded that the first domestication of reindeer took place in the Baikal 
region and was practiced originally by Samoyeds in the early period of their 
history (prior to their migration into the present northern habitats). It was later 
transmitted to the Lapps.

This paper, with its lists of comparative characters and numerous sketches 
of the bones, is an aid to the archaeologist or mammalogist identifying fauna 
of the larger Artiodactyla from North American excavations. Only generic 
differentiation is attempted of Ovis, Capra, Antilocapra, Odocoileus, Bison, and 
Bos, except for a few characters where the mountain sheep (Ovis canadensis) 
can be distinguished. No characters of the post-cranial skeleton were found 
that would separate domestic sheep and goat, so they are grouped as a unit. 
Little or no reliance can be placed upon characters of ribs, vertebrae or many of 
the smaller bones of the carpus and tarsus, so such bones are not considered. 
Bos and Bison are very similar in their skeletal parts, although not to the degree 
of Capra and Ovis.—C.A.R.

definitely be regarded as domestic. The sheep and ox are assigned to extinct 
species, and horse and pig were not specifically identified. Pig and dog bones 
were most numerous, horse and ox bones next, deer and sheep bones next; rabbit 
was rare.—C.A.R. 


Linton, Ralph 


1955. Domestication of plants and animals. Chap. 8, in The Tree of Culture. 
Alfred A. Knopf (New York). 


This is a non-technical summary of what an anthropologist regards as essential 
knowledge concerning domestication. As such, there are correlations with human 
culture not always known to zoologists, as the possibility that chickens may 
have been kept originally to guard against ghosts. 


Except for the dog and the reindeer, domestic animals were tamed by agri- 
cultural people. Man’s association with reindeer at first was that of herder only; 
all other domesticated animals are thought to have been kept first as young animals, 
probably as pets for children. 


There were two major centers of animal domestication in the Old World: The 
dry, open country of Egypt and southwestern Asia and the jungle environment of 
southeastern Asia. In the latter area occurred the domestication of the chicken 
and probably an independent domestication of the pig. The Bactrian camel was 
domesticated in Mongolia, and the horse on the steppes somewhere west of Mon- 
golia; possible sites for the origin of the domestic dog and water buffalo are not 
mentioned.—C.A.R.

Lorenz, Konrad Z. 
1955. Man meets dog. x + 211 pp., illus. Houghton Mifflin Company (Boston). 


The domestic dog, as determined primarily on the basis of comparative be- 
havior, is considered to have been derived from the golden jackal, Canis aureus, 
after a long period of symbiotic relationship. As man finally moved into the 
far north, he cross-bred these jackal-ancestored dogs with wolves, C. lupus, thus 
establishing those breeds (Eskimo husky, chow chow, samoyed, and Russian Lajkas) 
which are mainly wolf-derived. 


The domestic cat is descended with little change of morphology or behavior 
from Felis ocreata of Africa and Syria. This species is today easily tamed, even 
when caught adult, whereas the European wildcat, F. sylvestris, can never be 
tamed, even when hand-reared from a kitten.—C.A.R.

Dogs, which were found together with jackals, are mostly of the pariah type; 
a few were a kind of greyhound. Among the numerous cat mummies two forms are 
distinguished: A large type, identified with the wild, indigenous Felis maniculata, 
and a smaller type, considered the domestic derivative of the former. Cattle 
are identified as Bos africanus Fitzinger and are seen as the race that supplied 
the “‘steer of Apis’’; sheep mummies are regarded as of two species: Ovis palaeo- 
aegypticus and a mouflon type.

An osteological comparison between fossil and recent wild horses and early 
domestic horses is the basis for a study of the origin of the domestic horse. Beside 
measurements collected from the literature, the author uses extensive new mate- 
rial from sub-fossil peat-bog finds—mainly from Sweden—from the Ancylus and 
Litorina time (7000-2000 B.c.) and from the Nordic Bronze Age (chiefly from the 
sacrificial site at Lake Bokarn, Uppland). 


The division of the wild horse population into two groups—an eastern group, 
comprising the tarpan and the Przewalski horse, and a western one, represented 
by late- and post-glacial wild horses from central and northern Europe—is ex- 
plained by the biogeographical conditions during the Ice Age. The domesticated 
Nordic Bronze Age horse shows a close connection to the Nordic wild horse and 
no resemblance to the tarpan, which fact seems to refute the monophyletic origin 
of the domestic horse from the latter. 


In the last chapter—‘‘domestication and its significance’’—the specific effects 
of domestication in general are traced, and their possible causes are discussed. 
A comprehensive bibliography is appended.

1912a. The horse and its relatives. vi+281 pp., 11 figs. George Allen & 
Company, Ltd. (London). 


In chap. 2 (pp. 71-116) various views as to the relation of the domestic horse 
to the wild tarpan are examined and discussed. The author finds signs of near 
relationship between the Mongolian tarpan (Equus caballus przewalskii) and the 
existent breeds of western Europe and their prehistoric ancestors, all of them de- 
rived from one species (Equus caballus typicus), which gave rise to the Mongolian 
ponies as well. 


The differences between the eastern and western stock are only the results of 
different climatie conditions, modes of treatment and selection; ‘‘Oriental’’ and 
““Oecidental’’ horses are derived from the same ancestral form. The Arab-Barb 
group, however, is regarded as markedly distinct from the original tarpan-like 
horses of western Europe and Mongolia. The origin of the Arab stock is traced 
back to Equus stenonis in the Pliocene (chap. 5, pp. 150-170). The author finds 
in this Arabian breed the original type from which both ‘‘Barb’”’ (the Libyan 
stock) and “Turk’’ (the Turkoman horses of Turkestan) were early derivatives. 

When dealing with the domestic ass (chap. 9, pp. 215-225), the author accepts 
the view that the wild animal, whose original home may have been in northwest 
Africa, was probably first tamed in the eastern Mediterranean countries.

The volume contains detailed information on the zoological position and struc- 
ture of the ox, the distribution and history of wild bovines, and an account of the 
origin of domestic cattle and of the chief breeds by which they are represented. 
Special attention is devoted to the history of the extermination of the aurochs of 
Europe and western Asia (Bos taurus primigenius), taken as the principal ancestor 
of domestic cattle. 


Humped cattle—a distinct species, Bos indicus—are regarded as a domesti- 
cated derivative from the wild banteng of southeastern Asia (cf. also Keller, 1902). 
Its connection with the brachyceros stock, however, is contested.

moufion (O. a. musimon) by the prehistoric inhabitants of Europe may have oc- 
curred. The specialized African breeds—the longipes type of ancient Egypt as 
well as the long-legged (O. a. longipes) and long-eared (O. a. catotis) breeds of today 
—are considered to be of Asiatic origin.

cations of H. Friederichs (cf. Friederichs, 1933) are discussed (vol. I, appendix 1, 
pp. 669-671). The animal that appears most frequently is a form of cattle, show- 
ing the characters of both the primigenius and the namadicus type, which fact may 
indicate a crossing of the two in the Indus valley. Among the figurines and model 
animals (pp. 286-292), domestic dog (of a mastiff type), cattle, horse(?), sheep, 
goat and pig are identified.

The area considered is part of northeastern Syria. The horse, sometimes with 
its trappings, is frequently represented by clay figurines, which, together with

Proof of mixed farming was obtained as far back as the Chalcolithic; cows, sheep 
and goats were kept, and the domestic dog was also at the disposal of the herdsmen. 


Some remains of domestic animals, found in or near Tell Mefesh, are identified 
by D. M. A. Bate (p. 128). They belong to a large ox, a small equid and a large 
goat with twisted horns—considered to be an example of an early stage in the 
development of the domestic Mamber goat. 


1947. Excavations at Brak and Chagar Bazar. Iraq, vol. 9, pp. 1-266, 86 pls.,

These sites are in northeastern Syria. From Brak, dated as not later than 
3200 B.c., were identified a small Equus, pig, and ox; the latter two were probably 
domestic. Also from Brak, at about 2300 B.c., were identified a small Equus, and 
domestic dog, pig, goat, cattle, and probably sheep. The Hquus could be either 
the domestic ass or the Syrian onager. 


Remains of a goat with twisted horns are thought to be those of the typical 
Mamber goat. A sheep is represented by a portion of a large twisted horn core, 
which resembles that of some domesticated races and differs from that of the wild 
species. Similar horn cores associated with the Mamber goat were also found at 
Megiddo, in levels dated as of Chaleolithic to Early Bronze age.—C.A.R.

natural evolution. Data are taken almost exclusively from cultivated plants.

In the first part—a general consideration of the origins of domestication—it is 
assumed that the necessity for keeping animals as offerings for the gods had been 
the main motive for the taming of wild forms. This is followed by a brief account 
of archaeological evidences of dog, pig, and cattle from prehistoric Europe, and of 
cattle, sheep, goat, horse, ass and camel from the ancient Near Kast.

1927. Das Wildrind Osteuropas und seine Domestikation. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., 
Bd. IX, pp. 475-483. 


Fossil and recent material of the genus Bos from Ukrainian museums is investi- 
gated. The East European domestic cattle are of primigenius type (although with 
great variability) and are supposed to have descended from Bos urus primigenius 
in the early Stone Age, their domestication being already very advanced by late 
Neolithic. Cross-breeding with the Asiatic urus (B. namadicus) or with the ban- 
teng may occasionally have occurred. 


1928. Die neolithischen Haustiere Siidosteuropas. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XI, 
pp. 15-25. 


The author summarizes briefly the material (mainly figurines) of Neolithic 
domestic animals from southeastern Europe (especially Ukraine) and concludes 
that by the fourth millennium B.c. cattle (of primigenius type), sheep, goats(?) 
and horses(?) were domesticated in this area. 


Menghin, Oswald 
1931. Weltgeschichte der Steinzeit. xvi+648 pp. Anton Schroll & Co. (Wien). 


The author claims three independent civilizations, which gave rise to animal 
breeding at the threshold of the Neolithic. 


Widespread across southern Asia and southern Europe was a swine-breeding 
culture, associated with hoe-agriculture and lacking draft animals, the only do- 
mestic species besides the pig being the dog. Another civilization complex, rep- 
resented by the Anau culture, rose in western Turkestan, its domestic stock 
comprising cattle and sheep, the former derived from Bos namadicus, the latter 


76 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


from Ovis vignei arkar. Later the goat was added. A third civilization is indicated 
by the domestication of riding animals—horse, ass and camel—its origin being 
sought in central Asia.

Jhg. 70, pp. 83-97. 

In a preliminary report on the excavations at the Neolithic settlement of 
Merimde-Benisalame (western Delta region of Egypt) a short account of the 
faunal finds is given (pp. 88, 89) and their significance in tracing early stock- 
farming in Egypt is emphasized. The faunal remains show close resemblance to 
those from Ma’adi (ef. Menghin and Amar, 1932), especially in the abundance 
of bones of the domestic pig. 


Pig, cattle, sheep, and goat(?) are also recorded. In spite of the great amount 
of skeletal material no trace of either equids or camels was detected.

1932. The excavations of the Egyptian University in the Neolithic site at

The bone material from the Ma’adian culture (ca. 3000 B.c.) in Lower Egypt 
is discussed briefly (p. 52). A considerable number of oxen, sheep, goats and pigs 
could be distinguished. The importance of the high frequency of pigs in early 
Neolithic sites from Lower Egypt, as contrasted to the few faint traces of pig- 
breeding in Upper Egyptian sites from the same era, is emphasized, and the 
marshy Delta region is considered to be the pig-breeding center of prehistoric 


Egypt.

Bd. XVI, pp. 361-400, 20 figs., 9 tables. 


An extensive series of precipitation tests was made, in order to investigate 
the serological relationship of cattle in the Dutch East Indies in general and of the 
Java-Madurese cattle in particular. The results confirmed the view that the Java 
and the Madurese cattle originated from a cross between banteng and zebu; both 
are related mutually as well, with the zebu on one side and the banteng (Bali 
cattle, Bos sondaicus) on the other. 


Zebu and Friesian-Dutch (Bos taurus) cattle show almost the same relation- 
ship reciprocally as each of them does with the banteng, the banteng being more 
closely related to the buffalo (Bos bubalis) than the two former. The buffalo 
shows less affinity to the bovines sensu stricto than those do among themselves. 
It is in an intermediate position between the investigated Bovinae and the sheep. 


The high titer of Shorthorn and Jersey against anti-Friesian—Dutch serum on 
the one hand and anti-zebu on the other seems to confirm the view of a diphyletic 
origin of European breeds of cattle.

1955. Notes on the dispersal of the dromedary. Sthwest. J. Anthrop., vol. 11, 
no. 3, pp. 2381-245. 

Wild Camelus dromedarius occurred in northern Africa and probably in Pales- 
tine and Arabia in Pleistocene and prehistoric times, but it became extinct in 
northern Africa during Early Dynastic time without having been domesticated 
there, leaving only a few early evidences of its presence. The most probable site 
of domestication was southern Arabia (Yemen and Hadramaut), where agricul- 
tural people with domestic animals (goats, cattle, asses) lived in close proximity 
to the desert. The dromedary first appears clearly in the historical record in 
Mesopotamia during Assyrian times. The domesticated animal was then intro- 
duced into Egypt in numbers by the Persians, although some individuals had 
probably been taken there occasionally before (cf. Free, 1944, and Forbes, 1955). 
From Egypt the domestic dromedary spread across the Sahara, very possibly prior 
to the first century A.D., the time usually assigned to this event.—C.A.R.

Skull fragments of cattle from several Neolithic sites from Moravia (especially 
from the lake dwellings near Olmiitz) are investigated. Most of the domestic 
specimens belong to the brachyceros and only a few to the primigenius type. It is 
suggested that it had been principally the small brachyceros ox that was distrib- 
uted and kept among the Slavonian settlements during the Neolithic.

78 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


A craniological examination and statistical analysis lead to the conclusion that two 
forms of cat were mummified. The larger form, the domestic status of which is 
questioned, represents Felis chaus. The smaller and by far the commoner mum- 
mies appear to represent a domestic form of the wild F. libyca Forster, called 
F. libyca bubastis.

A treatise on cattle ancestry, introduced by a historical sketch of bovid evo- 
lution throughout the Pleistocene, wherein the probable progenitors for domestic 
oxen are sought. Bos namadicus is taken as the ancestor of B. primigenius, which 
gave rise to a number of domestic varieties (B. trochoceros, B. frontosus, B. longi- 
frons). Bos africanus Fitzinger, proposed to designate the ancient Egyptian cattle 
(ef. Lortet and Gaillard, 1903-09), is regarded as a local race of the primigenius 
type. B. brachycephalus is seen as a derivative of a different species.

A consideration of the paleontological and archaeological evidence known at 
the dawn of the twentieth century on horses of the Paleolithic and Neolithic 
periods in Europe. The author suggests that horses were not tamed in Europe in 
pre-Neolithic times, but that in early Neolithic periods domesticated horses de- 
rived from wild Asian species were brought into Europe by Aryan immigrants.

The origin of strains in the domestic rabbit is studied on the basis of the 
genetics of skin and hair characters. The author lists twenty factors influencing 
color pattern and hair character, which rose by mutations during domestication, 
and which were fixed by breeding. 

The ancestor of the domestic rabbit is proved to be the wild rabbit of south- 
western Europe (Oryctolagus cuniculus) which probably was first tamed by the 
Romans in Spain.

A survey of domestic animals and their origin. The rabbit is taken as a sam- 
ple species, and its genetic characters and mechanisms are compared with those 
found in other domestic animals. Special emphasis is given to the parallel char- 
acters which occur independently in various groups of domestic animals, and an 
attempt is made to work out their genetic and physiological background.

It is explained that mere taming of wild animals never led to the stage of true 
domestication. The latter was reached only by selection of mutations, deleterious 
in the wild stage but useful for man, over many generations.

Investigating the origin of the Indo-European civilization, the author deals 
(pp. 64-117) with the sources of its domestic stock, mainly from the linguistic 
point of view. In some forms a local origin from southeastern Europe is conceiv- 
able, as in the case of goat and pig, the latter being domesticated usually from the 
wild, indigenous animal everywhere. In most cases, however—sheep, dog, cattle, 
horse—the domestic breeds are clearly of Asiatic origin.

ethnological evidences for the occurrence of the domestic pig in Egypt from pre-

current views on the subject are given, and the point is stressed that pig breeding 
was associated with an agricultural but not with a pastoral life. Wild, domestic 
and feral pigs are compared, and the last is taken to be the cult-animal of Set.

The area of this study is generally west of the big bend of the Nile at Don- 
gola. The rock-carvings probably range in time from late Paleolithic to relatively 
recent historical time. In the pre-Christian era, the domestic camel was unknown 
in these deserts, and transportation was by horse, ox, or donkey. The hunting 
dogs shown are very spirited, and probably are of Dynastic times. The big- 
horned Bos africanus of proto-dynastic and Old Kingdom times is the commonest 
type of cattle represented; it was replaced in the Middle Kingdom by B. brachy- 
ceros. Some of the sites have only B. africanus represented, but others have 
both.—C.A.R.

Two skulls from the late Neolithic, identified as those of descendants of Sus scrofa

A detailed description of three equid skulls, found in the environs of Teplitz 
and Aussig (northern Bohemia). One skull belongs to a tarpan-like form (wild), 
the second is regarded as a dwarfed horse of the prehistoric type found in Spain 
(the proposed ancestor of the Kladruber breed), and the third is related to a 
dwarfed form of the ‘Occidental’ race, close to the type Equus caballus fossilis 
var. germanicus Nehr. 


In the first part new craniometrical methods and indices for equids are sug- 
gested, which—though using traditional measurements—express the image of the 
skull characters actually seen. Former data from the literature are revised and 
compared on the basis of the new methods.

An investigation of north African domestic dogs and of jackals and wolves kept 
in captivity shows that the new environment causes rapid changes in the skull of 
the wild animals, resembling partly the craniological modifications typical for the 
domestic dog. Jackals and wolves are therefore regarded as the only ancestors of 
the domestic dog, with pariah dogs and dingos representing feral types.

In an investigation of the crania of certain domestic breeds of the Altai- 
Kalmucks (southeast of Biisk, the region around the head-waters of the River Ob) 
the author stresses the affinities of the Kalmuck dog with Canis familiaris inostran- 
zewi, of the Kalmuck cattle with Bos brachyceros, and the resemblance of the 
Kalmuck horse to Equus przewalskii. 


The identification of the Kalmuck cat with a domestic variety of the East

mestic cat, the cradle of which is found in northern Africa.

genetic relationship. In the remains of three large dogs, a resemblance to the 
Indian wolf Canis pallipes is found; this type is named C. pallipes domesticus and 
is seen as a connecting link in the evolution of the large domestic dogs. An achieve- 
ment of the Indo-European Aryans, it spread from east to west (contrary to the 
C. palustris group, which dispersed eastward) and became the ancestor of the 
shepherd-dog type.

Description of animal remains collected at Alishar Hiiyiik (Anatolia) during 
the excavations in 1927-32, ranging from Chalcolithic to Phrygian-Hellenistic 
layers. Most abundant among the bones of domestic animals were remains of 
sheep, which appeared to be represented by the “‘copper sheep”’ type in the Hittite 
levels, by a cross of the latter with the turbary sheep in the earlier strata. 


Some remains of a domestic goat resembled Capra prisca, while horn-cores 
of cattle pointed to the brachyceros type. Pig remains—present at all levels— 
indicated that the Alishar swine belonged to the Sus scrofa group. Fragments 
of domestic dogs are referred to as Canis familiaris palustris ladogensis and C. f. 
inostranzewi respectively. quid remains, of indeterminable type, were scarce.

Craniological studies led to the conclusion that three races of wild boars are 
ancestral to the domestic pig: (1) the European and Western Asiatic wild boar 
Sus scrofa, with three subspecies (S. s. scrofa, S. s. attila Thomas and S. s. nigripes 
Blanford); (2) the Eastern Asiatic wild boar S. orientalis, also with three sub- 
species (S. 0. continentalis, S. 0. raddeanus and S. 0. moupinensis); (3) the South- 
eastern Asiatic S. vittatus.

Essentially an outline of the evolution of the Bovidae as shown by the fossil

breeds from Turkestan. 


Domestic goats are derived partly from the markhor and partly from the

of the Pleistocene C. prisca.

84 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


An extensive study of prehistoric pig remains from peat-moors and Neolithic 
sites in Ringsj@n (Schonen), Gottland, Aloppe (Uppland) and Anneréd (Bohnslin). 
Osteological differences between wild and domestic forms are worked out (pp. 
344-371). 

The first domestic pigs appeared in the late Stone Age, where, besides the 
wild boar—Sus scrofa antiquus (already hunted in previous periods)—a form 
occurred intermediate between the latter and the turbary pig, which in its pure 
type (S. s. palustris) appears only much later. The long chain of transition stages 
from the wild boar to the domestic turbary pig may indicate that the tamed 
races have been developed in Sweden as a result of a local domestication from 
an indigenous wild stock.

A study of the skeletal fragments from a typical Stone Age kitchen midden,

west coast of Gottland. 


Remains of domestic animals are absent or rare in the lowest layers (mainly 
seal bones), but they become by far the majority in the upper strata, comprisiug 
bones of ox, dog, goat, sheep, pig and horse. The dog is of the peat-dog (palustris) 
type. The goat—a rare animal on Stora Karlsé—is taken to be derived from 
Capra aegagrus, while the Férvar sheep (much more frequent than goat) is con- 
sidered a derivative of the mouflon (Ovis musimon), the rams being horned, the 
ewes hornless. Cattle are of the brachyceros type, which is regarded by the author 
as a domestic variation of the wild Bos primigenius ferus.

Horses were absent. While the majority of pig bones were those of young animals, 
the remains of the other forms proved to be mainly those of adults.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 85 


A systematic description of the animal remains from Harappa in the Indus 
valley, collected during the seasons from 1924-25 to 1930-31. The material 
dated back to the third millennium B.c.—contained skulls and other skeletal 
parts of dog, cattle, sheep and goat, besides fragments from the one-humped 
camel, the Indian pig (Sus cristatus, all parts of young animals), the domestic ass, 
the domesticated buffalo and an apparently domestic cat. 


The dog—named Canis tenggeranus harappensis—showed marked skull- 
affinities to the Indian wolf (Canis pallipes) and is considered the ancestor of the 
Indian greyhound. Cattle found were of the humped zebu (Bos indicus) and 
the humpless type, both regarded as descendants of B. primigenius. Sheep were 
identified with Ovis vignei (domesticus). The goats of Harappa were regarded 
as derived from Capra aegagrus and their probable cradle of domestication is 
sought within the Indus valley.

Amratian graves from the prehistoric site of E] Amrah (north of Luxor, Egypt) 
yielded several clay figurines of cattle (pp. 16-17, 41; pl. ix), some of which were 
mounted four abreast on a single base and one of which showed a remarkably large

fencing, etc.) that would indicate domestication, but it would appear that the 
people who made these rough grave-goods knew the models as household animals. 
Figurines of pigs were rare; remains of goats are mentioned.—C.A.R.

A popular account of the domestic stock of ancient India. The first domesti- 
cated breeds, kept by the Negritos and by the Proto-Australoid population, com- 
prised dog, elephant and buffalo; with the invasion of Aryan-speaking tribes 
(around 1600 B.c.) the elephant-buffalo culture was replaced by a _ horse-cow 
culture, though the buffalo was retained in certain parts throughout later times. 


Independent domestication centers are suggested for the Bactrian camel 
(central Asia) and the dromedary (northern Africa). Sheep and goat were prob- 
ably first domesticated in the mountains of Turkestan.

In his report on three archaeological surveys in southern Arabia, the author 
deals with the first occurrence of cattle, sheep, ass, horse, camel, and dog on the 
Arabian peninsula. The domestication of the ass is seen as one of the most ancient 
achievements. It was introduced from eastern Africa, where its domestication 
originated. Also introduced very early were ox and sheep, the former by sea and 
the latter by the land route from the north. The domestic horse is regarded as a 
much later introduction. 


The domestication of the one-humped camel started prior to the third millen- 
nium B.C. in northeastern Africa, where it later disappeared. It was probably 
introduced from Mesopotamia into Arabia before the beginning of the second 
millennium B.C.

All sheep bones encountered in the ‘‘terpen’’ (mounds of refuge in the pre- 
historic swamps of Holland) originate from one identical breed, the ‘‘Terp’’ sheep, 
which is still extant as the primitive ‘“‘Drentsch Heide” sheep. It is not plausible 
to regard the ‘“‘Terp”’ sheep as the ancestor of the ‘‘Frisian Milk”’ sheep. 


The encountered skulls and skull fragments of Ovis aries palustris have all 
belonged to females. O. a. studeri never existed; the skeletal remnants ascribed 
to that breed are from male specimens of O. a. palustris. The so-called Bronze 
sheep never existed as an autonomous breed, but is merely a non-horned variety 
of the female O. a. palustris. The ‘‘Drentsch Heide”’ sheep is, through the ‘“‘Terp”’ 
sheep, the lineal descendant of O. a. palustris —D.H.

In the “‘terpen,’’ as well as near Swiss lake-dwellings, remains have been 
found of wild boars and domesticated pigs. The wild form is Sus scrofa, the Euro- 
pean wild pig. The domestic pig is derived directly from S. scrofa; the names 
“S. verrucosus,”’ “S. vittatus,’’ and ‘SS. mediterraneus’’ are not to be considered, 
since these are also derived from S. scrofa. 


The remains of domesticated pigs found in Swiss lake-dwellings show no 
essential differences; such variability as is present is due to individual variation, 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 87 


differences in the degree of domestication, and differences in absolute size. Thus 
Sus scrofa palustris Riit. may be designated S. s. domesticus palustris. The small 
deviations that have been noted between this latter and the Dutch mound-hog, 
sometimes called S. s. domesticus tumulorum, are exclusively the results of differ- 
ences in the degree of domestication and in differences of environment. Both 
represent one domesticated form of Sus scrofa.—D.H.

A short summary of the animal remains from two layers (III and IV) of the 
Neolithic site at Saint-Aubin (Switzerland). Domestic animals constituted about 
70 per cent of the total. Cattle (Bos brachyceros) occupied first place in both 
levels, followed by the dog in level IV, by the pig (Sus palustris) in Jevel III. 
Fewer remains belonged to the domestic sheep (4-9 per cent) and to the goat 
(Capra hircus) (4.4-6.6 per cent).

Mandibles of ca. 54 dogs—a part of the faunal remains from the deepest stratum 
at Saint-Aubin (cf. Reverdin, 1921)—-are studied. The animals were apparently 
slaughtered and eaten. Most of the mandibles are in the variation range of the 
peat-dog Canis familiaris palustris; some, however, deviate significantly in their 
jaw indices, which fact leads to the assumption that more than one form of dogs 
were represented among the Neolithic fauna of Switzerland.

A brief summary of the frequency of domestic species out of the total faunal 
remains from Saint-Aubin (ef. Reverdin, 1921) and Cortaillod, in which the relative 
decrease of domestic animals during the transition from the early to the middle 
(—late) Neolithic is shown. In Saint-Aubin domestic animals (ox, pig, sheep, 
goat, dog) constituted 67.8 per cent of the total fauna in layer IV, and only 55.6 
per cent in layer III. At Cortaillod the corresponding percentages were 56.8 in 
layer IV and 54.5 per cent in layer III. The decrease affected especially sheep 
and goat (from 20.2 per cent to 11.2 per cent in Saint-Aubin) and dogs (in both 
sites from 11.6 to 3.7 per cent).

A study of the animal remains from the Neolithic kitchen middens at Er 
Yoh (off the coast of Morbihan, France), the results of which are compared briefly 
with the fauna of the Neolithic sites from Lake Neuchatel. Most frequent remains 
among the domestic stock of Er Yoh were those of the turbary sheep (about 62 
per cent) and small cattle of brachyceros type (28.5 per cent); a few remains were 
of a larger type of cattle and of the turbary pig (Sus scrofa palustris). The few 
equid remains are considered to belong to a wild horse.

The finds of La Tene—a settlement from the Iron Age near Geneva—are

were 148 of cattle, 149 of pig, 69 of sheep, 7 of goat and 26 of dog. All the eattle 
remains belonged to Bos taurus brachyceros. Pigs were represented by Sus palustris 
and sheep showed affinities to the larger specimens of the Neolithic Ovis palustris. 
The single skull of a dog seemed to be related to Canis inostranzewi, though in 
size it resembled C. intermedius.

A critical examination of the cattle remains from Saint-Aubin (cf. Reverdin, 
1921, 1928; Dottrens, 1946) and a discussion of the remains of large cattle from 
the lake-dwellings, identified as a domestic race of the aurochs Bos taurus primi- 
genius. A biometrical study revealed that sexes of the small, Neolithic brachy- 
ceros race were much less distinct than they are in domesticated cattle today, 
while dimorphism in sexual size is marked in the wild urus. 


The great majority of the remains from Saint-Aubin (stratum IV) belonged 
to the domestic Bos taurus brachyceros and the few primigenius bones are those of 
wild cattle, either males or females; no reason is seen to admit the existence of a 
domesticated race of the urus in the early Neolithic of this site.

Although the bulk of this monograph is devoted to a study of the distribution 
and osteology of Bos primigenius, consideration is also given to B. longifrons, the 
Celtic Shorthorn. This latter is clearly the domestic ox of the British Neolithic. 
It is unknown from the British Pleistocene, and was introduced as a domestic ani- 
mal to Ireland (which never had native cattle). The ancestry and place of domes- 
tication of B. longifrons are unknown; some think it was merely a domesticated and 
smaller variant of B. primigenius, but others think it a distinct wild species that 
became domesticated, whereas B. primigenius was never domesticated. 


In a historical review it is shown that ‘‘urus’”’ (not ‘‘aurochs’’) is the correct 
common name for B. primigenius.—C.A.R.

The Norway rat was domesticated for experimental purposes, and changes 
during the course of its domestication are analyzed. These domestic modifications 
seem to rest upon changes in the endocrine system and are associated with a hypo- 
function of the adrenals and a hyperfunction of the gonads. 


It is suggested that a special selection mechanism may operate under the pro- 
tected and controlled environmental conditions found under domestication.

origin for a bay domestic horse, called Equus caballus libycus. This variety devel- 
oped during a long succession of time in Libya and came to Egypt prior to 1500 B.c., 
about the same time that the North Eurasian (originally dun or white) horse was 
brought into Mesopotamia. By 1000 B.c. the Libyan horse spread into the Near 
East, and by blending with the Eurasian stock gave rise to all the improved breeds 
of the world.

doubts the identification of the ‘‘unicorn”’ with the urus, and takes it rather to 
represent the wild ass. The wild ass is considered a native of the Indus valley 
from time immemorial, the domestic form being the result of an autochthonous 
breeding in association with cult-ceremonies.

The disputed przewalski ancestry for domestic horses is investigated by an

the domestic horse. The Mongolian horses are considered, together with the under- 
sized breeds of northeastern Europe (Clepper, Finnish, Vyatka horses), to be a 
special ‘‘northern group” of domestic horses, which originated independently from 
the “southern group”’ (represented by Equus caballus pumpelly from Anau; cf. 
Diirst, 1908) and the ‘‘eastern group,”’ the heavy cart-horses of western Europe.

The affinities of some races of cattle were tested by means of the precipitine 
reaction. Two races of European cattle—Holstein-Friesian (of the Bos taurus 
primigenius group) and Aberdeen-Angus (derived by Areander from the hypo- 
thetical Bos taurus akeratos)—could be distinguished by absorption tests. Hol- 
stein-Friesian, improved Japanese native, and their hybrids could not be distin- 
guished mutually. 


The blood serum of the South Korean cattle could be distinguished from that 
of the Holstein-Friesian, but not from that of the Formosan zebu (Bos zebu in- 
dicus planus), so that the South Korean cattle can be considered a strain from the 
Indian zebu. The Formosan zebu, however, is more closely related to the Holstein- 
Friesian than the Formosan water-buffalo.

In chap. 2 the cradle of earliest domestication is found in southeastern Asia, where 
the origin of animals of the household (dog, pig) was associated with vegetative 
planting—in contrast to herd-animals (cattle, sheep, goat), whose origin has been 
related to seed farming, practiced first in southwestern Asia. Chap. 3 (pp. 40-61) 
describes a similar process in the New World, represented by the tropical north- 
western South American (dog and Muscovy duck) and Andean cultures (llama, 
alpaca, guinea pig), respectively.

The author accepts the view that sedentary fishing peoples became the first

and that the long and tedious work of domestication was accomplished before the 
Neolithic opened. 


The origin of a series of herd-animals (Equidae and Bovidae) is outlined 
(pp. 91-95). Four maps show the hearths of domestication and the routes of 
dispersal of the domestic breeds.

An examination and discussion of data and evidences concerning early herd-

a primitive hunting civilization (‘‘Urkultur’’), nomadism associated with herd- 
animals being a necessary transitional stage. Man came in earliest touch with 
herd-animals in the steppe lands of central Asia, where the cradles of ancient 
domestication are sought. 


Reindeer supplied the material for the earliest domestication, practiced by 
Samojedic Sojots by Mesolithic (or even late Paleolithic) times, followed by horses, 
the taming of which was started in the fifth millennium B.c. among Turk tribes in 
Iran. Domestic sheep and goats are secondary to horse or camel, the latter itself 
originally a mere follower of horse-breeding. Cattle-breeding arose also as a sec- 
ondary element, but its geographical origin remains obscure.

Two types of true horses, which roamed in western and southern Europe during 
the early Pleistocene, are distinguished: Equus caballus and E. stenonis (distin- 
guished by the degree of complexity in the enamel pattern). Both forms became 
displaced from Europe during the glacial periods. The latter migrated to Africa 
and could not come back to Europe, which got separated from North Africa (where 
E. stenonis persisted until the Neolithic). Several times in inter-glacial and post- 
glacial periods Equus caballus returned to Europe from central and eastern Asia. 


The domestic ‘‘Oriental’’ breeds (Arabian, Barb) are traced back to Equus 
stenonis. E. caballus gave rise to the heavy ‘‘cold-blooded” horses and to the 
small eastern breeds as well.

Landesanst., Bd. 48. 


A comprehensive study of the fossil equid material from glacial and _ post-

are divided into three groups: A small form (Hquus caballus caballus, comprising 
E. robustus, the tarpan, and the Przewalski horse), an intermediate group (E. c. 
plicidens, often the undomesticated attendant of Paleolithic man), and a large 
type (HE. c. robustus=E. robustus, LE. mosbachensis, EL. abeli). The latter forms did 
not survive the last glacial period and had no part in the origin of the domestic 
horses, which in their primitive forms were all of small stature. 


Domestication was either started independently in two centers, one in east- 
ern Europe and a second in central Asia, or in a large area comprising both the 
centers.

into a northern (Capra ibex) and a southern (C. hircus) group. The author sees in 
C. hircus aegagrus the most primitive type, which gave rise to the majority of 
domestic goats.

The origin of the screw-horned breeds and their relation to C. prisca (ef. Ada- 
metz, 1915) is discussed in detail, the latter being regarded as an already domes- 
tie goat.

1918. Tierreste aus La Tene. Anat. Anz., Bd. 50, pp. 457-472, 12 figs. 


Description and short summary of faunal remains from early excavations of 
the Iron Age site at La Téne near Geneva (for further excavations cf. Revilliod, 
1926). Domestic animals listed include horses of the Oriental type, brachyceros 
cattle (with possible incross of Bos brachycephalus), turbary pig (cross with the 
European wild boar may have occurred), two forms of sheep (Ovis aries palustris 
and a hornless type), a big-horned race of goat and the large palustris type of dog. 
None of these animals is considered a result of local domestication from indigenous 
wild forms. 


Schweinfurth, G. 


1912. Tierbilder und Felseneinschriften bei Assuan. Z. Ethnol., Bd. 44, 
pp. 627-658. 

Study and interpretation of the animal representations at Aswan, which date 
from prehistoric times on. Among the domestic animals are cattle, represented 
only by the longhorned form in most ancient times, and much later by a short- 
horned type, which was, however, never domesticated. Dogs are mainly of a grey- 
hound type, but pariah forms can be identified. The wild ibex is depicted fre- 
quently, but there are only few and unclear representations of a domestic goat. 
Camel images exist from the ancient dynasties. The pig is always shown as being 
hunted, which fact seems to prove its wild status. 


Scott, J. P. 


1954. The effects of selection and domestication upon the behavior of the dog. 
Jour. nat. Cancer Inst., vol. 15, no. 3, pp. 739-758. 


On the basis of archaeological evidence and behavioral studies, it is assumed 
that the dog was domesticated from the wolf, Canis lupus, in Asia or northern 
Europe some time between 6000 and 8000 B.c. The jackal, C. aureus, is not con- 
sidered to be a possible ancestor of the dog. 


Dogs and wolves have identical basic traits of behavior, but as the result of 
artificial selection there is a great deal of variability in behavior in different breeds 
of dogs. The only new character, however, is with regard to the tail carriage, 
which varies from sickle-shaped to curled in the dog, but in the wolf is almost 
straight when relaxed. 


Wolves are scavengers as well as hunters, and could easily assume a com- 
mensal relationship with primitive man. The peaceful and socially cooperative 
home life of wolves would contribute to the ease of domestication once wolf pups 
were taken into the human home, where they would come to regard man as part 
of the social unit. Selection for docility and against wildness, with concomitant 
changes in the hormone production of the adrenal glands (cf. Richter, 1952), 
would inevitably follow.—C.A.R.

An account of the animal remains from the excavations of 1922-27 at Mohenjo- 
Daro in the Indus valley. The considerable amount of bones from the humped 
eattle—most of them belonging to calves—seems to indicate that large herds of 
this animal were maintained. The pig was present in large numbers in this area 
from the very earliest time, although its status of domestication cannot be taken 
as certain. The pig is identified with Sus cristatus. A fragment of an equid skull 
shows similarity to the “horse of Anau’”’ (ef. Durst, 1908).

portrayed, tentatively identified as Bos africanus, are thought to belong to Old 
Kingdom and pre-dynastic times. Some wear halters, so were undoubtedly do- 
mesticated. Prominent udders would indicate the importance of milk.

a find of a drag-sledge in the moors of Saasigéroi (Finland) from the Finnish Stone 
Age, it is assumed that the reindeer was already in use as a draft animal at that

In a brief historical review the Hittite Empire is seen as the cradle of origin 
of certain domestic animals. It is suggested that the first domestication of horses, 
shorthorned breeds of cattle, and fleecy sheep took place in Asia Minor at the 
beginning of the second millennium B.C.

animals (particularly domestic animals), on the prehistory of the Netherlands, and 
on evolution. The book is well-edited and profusely illustrated, and has extensive

undoubtedly had a long prior history of domestication to the north (ef. Hrozny, 
1931). Linguistic evidence indicates a previous and common Irano-Sanskrit ex- 
perience with horse-domestication, and the building of a technical vocabulary.

1939. Die Haustiere auf den nordafrikanischen Feldbildern. Forsch. Fortschr.

A study of the origin of the important African domestic breeds in the light of 
the rock paintings from eastern and western North Africa. The author accepts 
the view that domestication originated on a religious basis and sees in the repre- 
sentations primarily an illustration of sacrificial animals. 


Both the primigenius and the brachyceros types of cattle are found from the 
prehistoric periods on; zebu representations are lacking. Two types of horses, the 
Oriental and the stouter Occidental, are distinguished, the latter dominating in 
earlier periods; an ancient domestication center for horses in northwest Africa is 
suggested. Sheep and goat are almost absent, a fact explained by their association 
with nomadic life, a settled culture being a basic condition for the practice of rock 
painting. One of the most frequently depicted domestic animals is the one- 
humped camel, which fact leads to the suggestion that the dromedary may have 
been a widely used beast of burden and a riding animal in North Africa in ancient 
times (from the third millennium B.c.).

A comprehensive investigation of the crania of subfossil and recent dogs, from

Views on the status of the pariah dogs and the dingo are reviewed briefly. 
A dingo-like ancestor (resembling Canis tenggeranus of Java) is suggested for the 
southern breeds of domestic dogs (pariahs, greyhounds, Tibet mastiffs), while the 
Palearctic breeds are thought to be derived from a small ecanid (Canis ferus Bourg) 
or from its cross with the wolf. An extensive 19th century bibliography on dog 
origin is appended.

A skull and other skeletal remains of a dog, which were found associated with 
Mousterian artifacts near Bologoie (Russia), are compared with remains of other 
fossil canids and with the dingo. The dog of Bologoie, which resembles the dingo 
in shape and size, is named Canis poutiatini and regarded as a diluvial type, the 
first to become tamed by man; it is thought to have given rise to C. matris optimae 
(ancestor of the shepherd dogs) as well as to C. intermedium (progenitor of the 
hunting dogs) from the Bronze Age. By crossing with the wolf the breeds of large 
domestic dogs (mastiffs, deerhounds) originated, while a dwarfed form of the wild 
hound (C. mikii) gave rise to the Neolithic C. familiaris palustris.

On the basis of information derived from members of a Spanish expedition to 
South Carolina in 1521, and from an Indian taken back to the West Indies by 
that expedition, Pietro Martire de Anghierra, in his De Orbe Novo, reported that 
the Indians of the region had domestic deer. These deer, it was said, were milked, 
and cheese was made of the milk. 


Although many other parts of this early account are shown to be accurate, 
Swanton denies this history of domestic deer without offering any reason for his 
opinion; presumably the lack of any confirmatory evidence from later periods 
leads him to his conclusion.—C.A.R.

Various views on the origin of domestic cattle (whether mono-, di-, or poly- 
phyletic) are reviewed and examined in the light of historical evidence. The 
author holds that the primitive domestic environment—essentially not distinct 
from the wild habitat—could not have caused great morphological changes (such 
as dwarfing) in the types of cattle, and concludes that at least five different species 
have been tamed in Africa and Asia, three of which (Bos primigenius, B. namadicus 
and B. brachyceros) are known. Zebus are regarded as derived from two or three 
independent groups, not related to the other European bovids.

1936. On the mammalian remains from the archaeological site of Anyang.

A systematic study was made of the mammalian bones recovered at Anyang 
(northern Honan), the old capital of the semi-historic Shang culture (ca. 1400- 
1100 B.c.). Remains of the dog, a ‘‘curious’”’ pig and a massive water-buffalo were 
abundant. Less frequently found were bones of sheep, goat, ox, elephant and tapir. 


The pig is considered to be a highly specialized breed of southern origin (called 
Sus vittatus var. frontalis var. nov.); the ox is taken to be a domesticated race of the 
urus; and the primitive-looking buffalo (Bubalus mephistopheles Hopw.) is regarded 
as the descendant of a Pleistocene Chinese buffalo, raised by man. The elephant 
was apparently imported from southern regions.

pp. 67-87. 


Summary of the Russian excavations of the Neolithic Tripolje civilization 
between the Sereth and Dnieper rivers. Among the skeletal material the remains 
of cattle, the domestic status of which was pointed out by numerous representa- 
tions and figurines of bovids, were by far the most numerous; in two sites they 
amounted to 67 per cent of all the animal bones. On the average (summary of 
five localities) cattle constituted 37 per cent of the remains, pigs 23 per cent, sheep 
and goats 15 per cent, and dogs 5 per cent. The remainder belonged to wild ani- 
mals. In the latest period a marked decrease of pig bones became obvious, while 
—besides oxen—sheep and goats became more numerous. This process seemed to 
be associated with a decline in grain culture and an increase in pastoral economy, 
which is explained by the bioclimatic changes during the Neolithic.

ters, from all other Quaternary horses described, and is termed Equus transilvanicus.

earliest domestication. Chap. 5 deals with the ‘‘companions and auxiliaries” of 
man (dog, cat, horse, ass, camel, llama and reindeer). In chap. 6 are discussed 
the origins of those animals (cattle, sheep, goat, pig and rabbit), reared for ali- 
mentary and industrial purposes.

In a survey of animal representations from predynastic and early dynastic 
Egypt, an attempt is made to trace the ancestry of the domestic sheep kept in 
North Africa during prehistoric and ancient historic time. It is concluded that 
the wild Barbary sheep (Ammotragus tragelocephalus), an autochthonous breed, 
was domesticated in the Neolithic period and constituted the first domestic sheep 
of the Egyptians. By the end of the Old Empire the fleecy sheep had been 
introduced from Babylonia and the autochthonous breed gradually became dis- 
placed.

tion of the terpen. The second section deals in detail with the wild fauna; domestic 
animals are mentioned only briefly (see, however, Van Giffen, 1929). 


Most frequent among the domestic mammals were cattle, followed by sheep, 
dog, horse, pig (in this sequence); remains of goat were rare. On the basis of a 
statistical study it is shown that primigenius and brachyceros cattle cannot be 
derived from two distinct ancestors.

Statistical studies of three large populations of subfossil dogs from the Meso- 
lithic Danish kitchen middens, the Neolithic and Bronze Age Swiss lake-dwellings 
and the Frisian and Groningen terpen (late Iron Age; cf. Van Giffen, 1914); for 
comparison recent dogs and related wild canids (wolf, jackal) were added. It is 
shown that the terp-dogs, which appeared to betray much wolf blood, displayed 
smaller divergencies than recent dogs, but more than the lake-dwelling and kitchen 
midden specimens. 


The earliest known European dogs (from the kitchen middens) have nothing 
in common with the analogous Asiatic forms (represented by the Anau material; 
ef. Diirst, 1908), which are derived from the Indian wolf Canis pallipes. The origin 
of the kitchen midden dogs is obscure, but they were not derived from C. palustris 
of the Swiss lake-dwellings. The terp-dogs, on the other hand, are taken to be the 
probable progenitors for the Cimbric-Megalithic and the recent Arctic dogs.

europdischen Hauspferdes. Biol. gen., Bd. IV, pp. 387-402. 


A critical examination of the skull material of fossil equids leads the author 
to set up a new subspecies of the Russian tarpan called Equus gmelini Ant. ssp. 
silvatica, or the “forest tarpan.’’ This form is regarded as the part of the steppe 
tarpan population that remained when most of the group retreated into southern 
Russia because of climatic changes in post-glacial times. 


An analysis of the skull of a Polish country horse revealed characters of both 
tarpan types and also additional features peculiar to the Przewalski horse. 


1934. Beitrag zur Characteristic und Abstammung der anatolischen Hauszie-

The two races of Anatolian goats—the common Anatolian goat (kil-keci) and 
the Angora goat (tiftik-keci)—-are described and investigated as to their origin 
and relationship to the Anatolian wild goat, Capra aegagrus. It is shown that the 
latter form cannot be considered as having any part in the ancestry of the Ana- 
tolian domestic breeds, which are regarded as two races of the Capra prisca type; 
the “‘kil-keci’’ race resembles the fossil skulls from Zloezow (ef. Adametz, 1915), 
and the Angora goat is related to the fossil goats from Zlota (ef. Adametz, 1928) and 
from Schleinbach (ef. Sickenberg, 1930).

An account of the wild bovids still existing in Cochin-China (southern Indo- 
China). A detailed description of the recent domestic stock of this area is followed 
by a short discussion of the origin of the latter. 


Except for some introduced cattle, the main dairy stock kept in Cochin-China 
is derived directly or indirectly from Bos indicus. Domestic gaur and banteng are 
descendants of the wild Bibos gaurus and Bibos sondaicus respectively.

Die Tierreste aus den Pfahlbauten des Bodensees. Zoologica (Stuttgart), 
Bd. 31, Heft 82, Lief. 1, vii+109 pp., 14 pls., 3 tables, 4 figs. 


An extensive osteological treatment of the faunal remains from the Neolithic 
lake-dwellings around Lake Constance, especially from the site at Sipplingen exca- 
vated by H. Reinerth in 1929-30. The domestic stock is composed of dog, cattle, 
sheep, goat and pig. The great speciation of the dog—the only animal not used 
for food purposes—seems to point to its very early domestication. The majority 
of the remains fall into the Canis familiaris palustris group, but those are often 
accompanied by a larger type (C. f. intermedius) and a dwarf form, identified with 
C. f. spaletti. 


The small sheep (Ovis aries palustris) possessed horns in both sexes, which fact 
seems to exclude a mouflon ancestry but points toward an origin from the non- 
European O. vignei. A few remains were those of the domestic goat (Capra hircus, 
a screw-horned type), but the great number of bones from domestic cattle indicated 
their economic importance. The skeletal material is in part of primigenius, in part 
of brachyceros, and sometimes of mixed character. 


The domestic animal found by far most frequently was the pig, the rearing of 
which was probably favored in prehistoric times by the then dominant oak forest. 
The pig is of the scrofa type and, showing no affinities to the Oriental Sus vitta- 
tus, is brought by the author in direct relationship to the European wild boar, 
S. scrofa ferus. 


In the Bronze Age levels a few remains of a domestic horse appeared.

the domestic dog, but archaeological findings and their earlier treatments are 
evaluated by means of the new comparative material.

A compilation of archaeological material on the early history of the one- 
humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) in the Orient. On the basis of the records 
collected, the author assumes that the domestication of the dromedary probably 
originated in central Arabia in the last half of the second millennium B.c.

results of archaeological excavations and early records from the areas under

to a central Asian origin of the domestic Bactrian camel.

a Pictish village in Orkney, pp. 198-204, pls. lvii-lix. Kegan Paul, Trench, 
Trubner & Co. Ltd. (London). 


A study of the animal remains found during the excavations at Skara Brae, 
a Neolithic dwelling place in Orkney (Scotland). Among the numerous cattle 
bones three groups were distinguished, taken to be representative of bulls, cows 
and bullocks of a single breed, not corresponding with longifrons or with primigenius 
cattle from other Neolithic, Bronze or Iron Age sites. Abundant also were bones 
of a slender-limbed sheep, resembling the sheep of Soay (cf. Ewart, 1913). Very 
rare remains of pigs (uncertain whether domesticated) seemed to indicate lack 
of oak or beech woods in Skara Brae times. 


The three characteristic features of this faunal assemblage, the abundance 
of sheep, the scarcity of pigs and the complete lack of dogs, are all features con- 
trary to those of Neolithic camps in England.

To determine the factors that caused the specific phenomena of domestication 
(and of human civilization as well), the nature of domestication and the parallelism 
between the changes produced by it are analyzed in different domestic animals. 
The author shows that the specific domestic adaptations were originally patho- 
logical (brachygnathy, dwarf forms) and were caused by the injurious factors 
of the changed environment, which led eventually to a racial fixation of body 
reactions to adjust this injury.

1939. Grundsiatzliches zum Problem der Haustierwerdung. Naturwissen-

From the chronological succession of important stages in human civilization 
conclusions are drawn as to the history of domestic mammals. Domestic breeds 
are completely lacking in the Paleolithic, but dogs and artiodactyls (bovids and 
pigs) were kept from the Mesolithic on. It is only in the Neolithic that the horse— 
first in Asia, later in Europe—was added to the domestic stock. 


1940. Zur Verbreitung und Geschichte der Transporttiere. Z. Ges. Erdk. 
Berl., Hefte 5-6, pp. 181-204. 


An account of the origin and dispersal of the common pack and draft animals. 
Bovids are regarded as the most ancient transport animals, appearing in the 
late Paleolithic and dominant throughout early history from the Caspian to 
southeastern India and also in northeastern Asia. Their center of origin is found 
in India. Cattle were replaced by horses in central Asia (considered the area 
where horse-taming originated) and northeastern Europe, while Ethiopia is seen 
as the original home of the domestic donkey. 


106 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 


Two other transport animals—yak (Tibet) and llama (Peru)—were only of 
local significance. The use of reindeer rose probably by association with the 
domestication of the horse, and the northeast Asian dog-sledge was an outgrowth 
of the Mongolian plough-culture.

Description of animal remains in a lake-dwelling, recovered from the bottom 
of Lake Zurich. Most of the bones belonged to domestic species. Most frequently 
represented were cattle, closely followed by pigs; fewer remains were those of 
sheep (or goat) and dogs, with few bones of the horse. Among cattle three races 
could be distinguished (primigenius, brachyceros, and an intermediate type, 
resembling Bos trochoceros). Sheep were chiefly of the ‘‘copper’’ type (though 
hornless forms were represented). The goat was Capra hirca. The pigs of Alpen- 
quai exhibited the characters of the palustris form, the equid remains were closest 
to Equus caballus celticus, and all the dogs were identified with Canis familiaris 
inostranzewr.

1953. The ancient white cattle of Britain and their descendants. 174 pp., 
48 pls. Faber and Faber, Ltd. (London). 


The theory that the wild white cattle of Britain are direct descendants of 
Bos primigenius is rejected, as this latter species was probably extinct in England 
and southern Scotland by 1000 B.c. Instead, it is thought that longhorned white 
cattle were brought from Italy by the Romans, who may have kept and bred 
them for sacrificial purposes. With the collapse of Roman power and the turmoil 
of the Germanic invasions, these herds became feral in the forests, from where 
they were subsequently driven into enclosed parks, beginning in the thirteenth 
century. These cattle are unknown in Ireland. 

The white color is genetically dominant. Only the Chillingham herd produces 
100% white calves; it is the only herd that remains pure-bred and is representative 
of the wild white forest cattle of the post-Roman, pre-Norman period. 

The domestic polled white cattle (‘“‘British Whites’), which are today a 
commercial breed, may be derived from the Fjallras cattle of Scandinavia, brought 
to England by the Vikings.—C.A.R.

Reviewing archaeological and paleontological evidence on the early sledge

Chukchi and Koryak (Lapps), but in the Tungusian and Soyotian areas it was 
a result of cultural influence from Turko-Mongolian horse-breeding.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 107 


A summary of information on the morphology, origin, and history of the 
domestic animals. The introduction contains a classification of the domesticated 
species and deals with their geographical distribution. An attempt is made 
to cover all the animals ever considered to be domestic—among them various 
birds, fishes and insects. 


Major attention is directed to domestic mammals, which are treated according 
to their orders: odd-toed ungulates (horse, ass, mule), even-toed ungulates (pig, 
camel, llama, goat, sheep, cattle), rodents (rabbit) and carnivores (cat, dog). 
An outline of the zoological characters of each group is followd by a discussion 
on its origin and taming, and finally by an account of its domestic breeds.

147, text figs. Vinton & Company, Ltd. (London). 


No British cattle are directly descended from Bos primigenius, which was 
extinect—at least south of the Highlands—by the Bronze Age. B. longifrons 
were small black domestic Neolithic cattle, introduced from the mainland. The 
famous wild horned white cattle of Britain are descended from domestic white 
Italian cattle, which became feral after the Roman withdrawal. English medieval 
horned red cattle were introduced by the Angles and Saxons, and the small dun 
polled cattle of many coastal areas of Britain and Ireland were brought by the 
Norsemen. None of these cattle are economically important in the 20th century 
breeds, which are descended from Dutch importations, beginning in the 17th 
century.—C.A.R.

Age pig, sheep and horse occur, and in the Bronze Age, in addition to the former, 
the domestic goat.

The early inhabitants of the desert valleys east and west of the Upper Nile 
are studied in the light of their rock-drawings. Vol. I deals with the eastern 
desert between Quena and Aswan, vol. II with the western parts—the regions 
of Kharga, Dakhla and Uwenat. The author distinguishes two cultures that 
occurred in the desert valleys in predynastic times. The most ancient population 
consisted of hunters who kept the dog as their only domesticated animal. Those 
were followed by mountain dwellers (believed to be Hamites), who had cattle 
and some of whom became herdsmen in isolated pasture oases.

206. 

In a popular survey of domestication, its sources and the possible motives 
that caused it are discussed. The author considers it conceivable that not man’s 
activity but the behavior patterns of the animal to become domesticated may 
have been the first causes of domestication. Dog and pig are regarded as the 
first animals domesticated, next in order cattle and reindeer were tamed, then 
sheep followed by goat, still later ass followed by horse, and finally camel and 
elephant.

The author gives a short summary of archaeological and ethnological evidences 
of horse-breeding in most ancient China. Until the second century B.c. the 
only horse kept by the Chinese was a domesticated variety of the small, indigenous 
steppe horse, a breed which was shared with the nomadic neighbors. About 
126 B.c. superior breeds were introduced from the ‘“‘countries of the West’”’ (prob- 
ably Bactria).

The three commonly accepted species of Old World small cats—Felis sil- 
vestris Schreber, of the forests of Europe and Asia Minor; F. manul Pall., the steppe 
eat of central Asia; and F. constantina Forst., the yellow cat of Africa and southern 
Asia—are hardly more than geographical and ecological subspecies of a single 
species. The majority of specimens cannot be distinguished osteologically, nor 
can the domestic cat usually be separated from these wild cats except by char- 
acters of the pelage. The cat is psychologically the least domestic of animals, 
and it has undergone the least anatomical change. The cat was first domesticated 
in Egypt—some claim as early as the Fifth Dynasty—but clear evidence of do- 


ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 109 


mestic status is lacking until the New Kingdom (16th century B.c.). The Romans 
carried domestic cats throughout much of Europe, where they have persisted and 
interbred with F. silvestris.—C.A.R.

et al. Clarendon Press (Oxford). 


Domestication arose as a natural symbiosis between two species of social 
animals, the less intelligent of which became dependent upon the more intelligent. 
In the primary stages of domestication, there was no concept of purpose involved, 
as man could not foresee, several generations ahead, the values to be derived. 
Later, as with reindeer domestication and attempts during Old Kingdom times 
in Egypt to domesticate gazelles, antelopes, and hyenas, purposive planning is 
apparent. 


Social animals that could become scavengers if the opportunity were pre- 
sented are the ones most likely to have become domesticated. The dog might 
best be derived from one of the smaller southern wolves, which tend to scavenge 
more and hunt less than do the larger northern ones. With the establishment of 
agriculture, there arose opportunities for symbiotic relations with the ungulates. 
Pet-keeping and use of pets as decoys to capture other individuals can perhaps 
explain the earliest phases of domestication in ungulates, but the species in- 
volved have to be psychologically adapted to breeding in captivity, must be 
physiologically adapted to surviving under difficult conditions (including almost 
complete neglect), and must then be so bred that they will become practically 
insensitive to the opportunity for personal freedom. 


All domestic animals except the reindeer have become adapted to man’s 
behavior; with regard to the latter, however, man’s culture has become adapted 
to the behavior of the deer. 


Much of the article is concerned with the effects of artificial selection upon 
different domestic mammals.—C.A.R. 


1955. The goats of early Jericho. Palest. Expl. Quart., Apr., 1955, pp. 70-86, 
37 figs. 


Animal bones from the pre-pottery Neolithic of Jericho, Palestine, are identi- 
fied as wild cattle (Bos primigenius), gazelles, antelopes, wild pigs, domestic goats, 
and domestic dogs. Neither sheep nor ibex has been identified. The goats 
are of the Capra aegagrus type, with straight and upright horns. One male 
and two female horn-cores were recovered; comparison of these with a large 
series of cores from known wild and domestic straight-horned and screw-horned 
goats indicates that the horns of the females are useless in attempting to determine 
domestication. The male core is much thinner and with lateral, medial, and 
posterior surfaces more rounded than in any wild male C. aegagrus, and is corre- 
spondingly ovoid-shaped, instead of being irregularly angular. This cross section 
of the Jericho male horn-core more closely resembles that of domestic goats than 
that of the wild C. aegagrus, and so it is very possible that the goat of pre-pottery 
Jericho was domesticated. 

The Neolithic goat with straight horns was replaced by goats with twisted 
horns early in the Bronze Age, throughout the areas of the Fertile Crescent and 
the eastern Mediterranean.—C.A.R.
