An international team of scientists, led by geneticists from Trinity College Dublin, sequenced the genomes from ancient goat bones from areas in the Fertile Crescent where goats were first domesticated around 8,500 BC. Their results reveal a 10,000-year tale of local farmer practices featuring genetic exchange both with the wild and among domesticated herds, and of selection by early farmers.
