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
ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 15
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

1920. Dogs of the American aborigines. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard
University, vol. LXIII, no. 9, pp. 431-517, 12 pls.
A brief general outline of views on the origin of the domestic dog, in which a
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.

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.

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.

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.
1932. Zur Biologie und Kraniologie des Haus-Yak im Sibirischen Altai. Biol.

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—

covered at Ur, and both are identified as belonging to Capra girgentana (cf.

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.
1935b. Uber das Kladruber Pferd. Beobachtungen an Einhufern in Schén-
brunn, XII. Der Zool. Gart., Heft 7, pp. 249-262.
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.

The author attempts to include almost everything known about dogs, ex-

uncritical. Major emphasis is placed on the different breeds and their history,
but there is much random information on the history of dogs in general, and on
dogs in medicine, folklore, law, poetry, and art. The literature concerning the
hybridization of dogs with wild canids is summarized.—C.A.R.

Skulls and skins of the domestic ferret, Mustela putorius furo, are compared
with skulls and skins of the European polecat, M. p. putorius, and the Asiatic
polecat, M. p. eversmanni. The domestic ferret resembles the European polecat
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

close relationship to Canis poutiatini and to the present Australian dingo.
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.

pig resembles in its neotenic character the wild vittatus rather than the wild scrofa
type.

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

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

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

Osteometric characters of Equus caballus przewalskii are worked out and com-
pared to those of the domestic horse and the domestic ass. Special emphasis is
given to the limb bones, their measurements and indices. A table (no. 3) sum-
marizes the osteometric features of the horse group as contrasted to the ass group.
1938. Essai d’une étude morphologique des equides préhistorique de France
d’aprés les gravures rupestres. Mammalia, Tom. II, pp. 1-11, 8 figs., 2 pls.
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.

1946. Les dessins d’équides préhistoriques de Ganties-Montespan, Haute-

Equid images, depicted on gallery walls of the underground river Ganties-
Montespan (in the Plantaurel range of the Pyrenees) and in caves frequented by
Upper Paleolithic people, are described and analyzed.
The authors distinguish four types of equids among the representations.
Most frequently portrayed and most primitive in type is the Przewalski horse,
taken as the ancestor of the Arabian as well as of the Camargue breed. Other
types recognized are the Celtic horse (the ancestor of the Shetland pony), the
Nordic horse, and an ass-half-ass type. i

Animal remains from the site at Jarmo (see Braidwood and Braidwood, 1950)

On pp. 134-136, C. A. Reed outlines the necessary training and skills for a

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
was later disclaimed: Science, vol. 130 [1959], p. 1639).—C.A.R.

Description of animal pictures found at Ouenat, a mountain mass in the heart
of the Libyan desert. Among numerous other animals the pictures show cattle,
horses, camels and dogs (or jackals). Besides engravings of a Paleolithic hunter-
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
described in the first part and compared to other prehistoric types. The author
accepts the four basic types of horses, established by Ewart (cf. Ewart, 1904, 1907a,
1909), and considers the Lofoten horse a straight derivation from the small, broad-
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.

skabelig rakke, Nr. 7, pp. 1—57, 4 pls., 4 tables, 3 figs.
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.

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,

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.

These contrast with the shorthorned cattle from Old Kingdom levels at Hemamiah

cattle may be from the Old Kingdom period, contemporaneous with those of
longhorned cattle.

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

occurrence of horses in the Near East, is examined from the archaeological point

relative abundance of the pig in the Neolithic, and a substantial decline in its
frequency, together with a steady increase in sheep population, in the transition
ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 37
time between the Neolithic and the Early Iron Age. It is suggested that the
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.

pigs, sheep and goats were represented. Both of the latter were present as domestic
animals throughout the occupancy of the cave but pigs and cattle became tamed
(or introduced) later. Remains of the wild urus, however, which apparently had
been hunted from the very beginning, were detected in the lowest levels.

Curwen, E. Cecil
1938. Early agriculture in Denmark. Antiquity, vol. 12, pp. 135-153, 4 pls.
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

always been kept in small groups by the poor, never in large flocks by rich stock-

Study of the faunal remains from excavations at a lake village near Glaston-
bury (Great Britain), dated to the prehistoric Iron Age prior to the Roman occu-
pation. Sheep bones constitute by far the most abundant remains and represent
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
pig, goat, a bovid (presumably cattle), and a canid. It is suggested that the
goat and the bovid were probably domesticated. The time of occupation of
El-Omari probably lies between the times of occupation of Merimde and Maadi.

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.

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.

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.

was known to man in China in early Paleolithic times and was tamed in China
by the Neolithic. Also, on the basis of ethnological material, it is assumed that
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
1912. The principles of breeding and the origin of domesticated breeds of ani-

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.

46 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54
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.

1955. The coming of the camel. Jn Studies in Ancient Technology, vol. II,
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.

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.

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.

Former ideas of the antiquity and independence of horse and reindeer breeding

1930. Forschungen zur Geschichte des Haushundes. Mannus Bib., Nr. 46,

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

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.

vol. 7, no. 3, pp. 105-264, 16 figs.
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

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

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.

(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

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

of domestication are considered to be due to selection rather than to physiologi-

of domestication upon the different species, parallel evolutionary trends under the
influence of artificial selection, heredity in domestic animals, and other subjects.

wild and domestic animals found in the palisade dwellings (Neolithic) of Lake
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
Egolzwil (ef. Hescheler and Riger, 1939) and Seematte (ef. Hescheler and Riiger,

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.

This paper, useful to the anatomist working with bones from archaeological

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.—

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.

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).

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

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-

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.

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.

1902. Die Abstammung der dltesten Haustiere. 232 pp., 81 figs. Fritz Am-
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.

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
64 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54
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).

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.

vol. 51, nos. 9-10, pp. 484-441, 3 figs.
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

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 65
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

J. U. Diirst sketches the zoological characters of both the forms and then dis-

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.

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.

A survey of the Swiss prehistoric fauna, based on a study of animal remains

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 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.

and blunt-nosed—which can be distinguished among the images of domestic
eats from ancient Egypt.

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.

horse, sheep, ox, and three kinds of deer; only the dog, Canis familiaris, could
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

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.

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-

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.

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

goat and pig are identified.

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.

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.

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.

resented by the Anau culture, rose in western Turkestan, its domestic stock
comprising cattle and sheep, the former derived from Bos namadicus, the latter

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.

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.

A craniological examination and statistical analysis lead to the conclusion that two

frons). Bos africanus Fitzinger, proposed to designate the ancient Egyptian cattle

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.

1928. The pig and the cult-animal of Set. J. Egypt. Archaeol., vol. XIV,
pp. 211-225, 2 pls., 6 figs. London.
The first sections (1-3) contain a collection of archaeological, philological and
ethnological evidences for the occurrence of the domestic pig in Egypt from pre-
dynastic times. In section 4, which deals with the origin of the domestic pig,
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.

pp. 261-291, 9 pls., 6 figs.
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.

the domestic dog, with pariah dogs and dingos representing feral types.

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.

while O. vignei is taken to be the probable progenitor of the prehistoric domestic
breeds from Turkestan.
Domestic goats are derived partly from the markhor and partly from the
bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus) or from a cross of the latter with the descendants
of the Pleistocene C. prisca.

An extensive study of prehistoric pig remains from peat-moors and Neolithic

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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,

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.

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.

1952. Domestication of the Norway rat and its implication for the study of
genetics in man. Amer. J. Hum. Genet., vol. IV, pp. 273-285.
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.

1905. The origin and influence of the thoroughbred horse. xi+538 pp., 143 figs.
Cambridge Univ. Press (London).
A wealth of data on horse breeding in prehistoric and ancient historical times
is brought together (pp. 82-424). On the basis of these historical and of biological-
morphological evidences as well, the author favors (pp. 425-477) a North African
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.

A discussion of the representations of the ‘“‘unicorn,’’ found in several sites of
the ancient Indus valley cultures (Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa, ete.). The author
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.

A brief description of the bone material from Crestaulta (Graubunden, Switzer-

tained probably up to the Late Bronze. Domestic mammals constituted the great
majority of the faunal remains. The most frequent species were the sheep, fol-
lowed by cattle and goat. Much fewer remains were those of the domestic pig.
Bones of dog and horse(?) were scarce.

The disputed przewalski ancestry for domestic horses is investigated by an
extensive morphological comparison of the przewalski horse, the Mongolian do-
mestic horse, and the tarpan. It is assumed that the przewalski horse— showing
a marked resemblance to the half-ass group—played no part in the evolution of
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
domesticators, that cult associations were the main cause of keeping herd-animals,
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.

1951. Zu den Anfangen der Herdentierzucht. Z. Ethn., Bd. 76, pp. 1-41.
An examination and discussion of data and evidences concerning early herd-
animals and their origin. Domestication of animals is seen as a gradual result of
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.
1928. Uber diluviale Pferde der Equus caballus Gruppe. Jb. preuss. geol.
Landesanst., Bd. 48.
A comprehensive study of the fossil equid material from glacial and _ post-
glacial times, collected in museums of central Europe. The European wild horses
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.

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.

Study and interpretation of the animal representations at Aswan, which date

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.

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

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.).

numerous tables.
A comprehensive investigation of the crania of subfossil and recent dogs, from
which it is concluded that all the domestic breeds of today can be traced back to
three main prehistoric forms, represented by Canis familiaris palustris, C. f. in-
ostranzewi and C. f. leineri Studer, the latter being the ancestor of the deerhounds.
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.

ZiichtBiol., Bd. IX, pp. 165-232.
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.
Palaeont. Sinica, ser. C, vol. XII, fase. 1, 86 pp., 8 pls.
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.

Two skulls of goats, found together with a skull of Ovzs aries at Kronstadt
(=Brasov, central Rumania), are described. In the circumference of the horn-
cores and the nature of their twisting, the skulls are similar to that of Capra prisca,
which is seen as ancestral for all the breeds of domestic goats now distributed over
central Europe, Hungary and the Balkan Peninsula. These goats also have horns
twisted from outside inward.

Two skulls—one of a horse, the second belonging to a dog—both from the
Bronze Age, were found near St. Georghe-Bedehaza (Transylvania). The dog is
identified as a variety of Canis poutiatini, and consequently named C. p. var. tran-
silvanicus. The horse skull proved to be distinct, especially in its dental charac-
ters, from all other Quaternary horses described, and is termed Equus transilvanicus.

An investigation of the crania of cattle from Dobruja (Rumania) and a dis-
cussion of their origin. The skulls examined showed no affinity to that of Bos

It is suggested that the brachyceros cattle were brought in prehistoric times from
the southern Balkan to the Danubian region by Gothic and Thracian tribes.

In a popular pamphlet, views on the origin of domestication and the rise of
the domestic breeds are summarized. The first four chapters (pp. 5-24) are con-
cerned with questions of general nature—definitions, motives, place and time of
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.

pp. 199-212.
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.

from this wild form and shows close affinities to the turbary pig from the Swiss
lake-dwellings.

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.

artifacts), pig, dog and horse also appear. The sheep belongs to the Ovis vignei
group, the goat is of the Capra aegagrus type and the horse is identified with
Equus caballus pumpelli.

of limb-bones, Bos sp. by a fragment of mandible with two milk teeth, and Sus sp.
by a single phalanx.—C.A.R.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

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.
