[QUOTE="gaurus, post: 1586070, member: 25416"] What you are talking about? 100% of Bos Taurus breeds(European/Asian/North African) breeds can trace their lineage back to Aurochs! European Aurochs are Bos primigenius primigenius and the domesticated european cattle is Bos primigenius taurus(aka Bos Taurus), Zebu cattle can trace their lineage to the Indian Aurochs(Bos primigenius namadicus). Your post is really out of line and makes no sense. If European domestic cattle share only segments of DNA with Aurochs, where do they get the rest from? Aliens? Cause sure as hell ain't from other wild bovine(Yak,bison,Gaurus). Taurine cattle were domesticated in the Middle East from the wild and now extinct Aurochs. They then spread throughout Europe where they interbred with local population of European Aurochs, for example in the British Isles then domesticated cattle(descending directly from first domesticated Aurochs in the Middle East) interbred with British Aurochs. In Spain and Iberia domesticated cattle interbred with Iberian Aurochs(later thru the Moorish invasions some zebu interbreeding took place, Texas Longhorn are about 85% European Taurus and 15% Zebu). At the time in Europe and Middle east The only wild bovine were the Aurochs(European Bison range was much north and were more wild than even the wildest Aurochs), no other possible descendant from domestic cattle than European/Middle East Aurochs. So to imply that modern cattle do not descend from Meddle east Aurochs first then interbred when they were already domesticated with local European wild Aurochs makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
