Sažetak
The domestication of animals is considered one of the most influential processes that have shaped the development and growth of human civilization. Cattle, which are divided into Taurus cattle (Bos taurus taurus) and Zebu cattle (Bos taurus indicus), are capable of converting large quantities of roughage into high-quality food, and the other benefits are also considerable. Therefore, cattle are often considered one of the most important domestic animals. Here, I first provide a historical overview of bovine domestication from the perspective of mitogenomes, Y chromosomes, and nuclear genomic markers. Second, I present the results of two recent genomic analyses of ancient cattle. Third, I show the results of our large-scale meta-analyses of the complete bovine mitogenome. Next, I present the archaeogenetics laboratory established this summer at the University of Zagreb - Faculty of Zagreb. Finally, I present our future perspectives in research on ancient genetics/genomics and domestication of animals.
