“…Mixing with the taurine cattle from the north generated a genetic North-South gradient of zebu-taurine mtDNA [71] and Y-chromosomal DNA [72]. In South China admixture of bibovine cattle (banteng, gaur or gayal) occurred, which may have been the dominant cattle species until 4500 BP [40,46].…”

Cattle are our most important livestock species because of their production and role in human culture. Many breeds that differ in appearance, performance and environmental adaptation are kept on all inhabited continents, but the historic origin of the diverse phenotypes is not always clear. We give an account of the history of cattle by integrating archaeological record and pictorial or written sources, scarce until 300 years ago, with the recent contributions of DNA analysis. We describe the domestication of their wild ancestor, migrations to eventually all inhabited continents, the developments during prehistory, the antiquity and the Middle Ages, the relatively recent breed formation, the industrial cattle husbandry in the Old and New World and the current efforts to preserve the cattle genetic resources. Surveying the available information, we propose three main and overlapping phases during the development of the present genetic diversity: (i) domestication and subsequent wild introgression; (ii) natural adaptation to a diverse agricultural habitat; and (iii) breed development.

“…According to Y-STR haplotype gene frequencies and other studies on cell and molecular levels (Li et al, 2013a) The geographical distribution of these Y-STR gene frequencies revealed a declining gradient of male indicine introgression from south towards north and east towards west in China. The highest frequency of taurine alleles (93.0%) was found in the breeds from the northern group, while the highest percentage of indicine alleles (93.0%) was observed in the southern cattle populations.…”

“…According to the Chinese Cattle Breed Encyclopedia Record, at least 28 types of Chinese cattle have been identified as local fine breeds (Li et al, 2013a). In the last half century, many animal scientists were interested in understanding Chinese native cattle genetic construction, origin, and evolution.…”

With its vast territory and complex natural environment, China boasts rich cattle genetic resources. To gain the further insight into the genetic diversity and paternal origins of Chinese cattle, we analyzed the polymorphism of Y-SNPs (UTY19 and ZFY10) and Y-STRs (INRA189 and BM861) in 34 Chinese cattle breeds/populations, including 606 males representative of 24 cattle breeds/populations collected in this study as well as previously published data for 302 bulls. Combined genotypic data identified 14 Y-chromosome haplotypes that represented three haplogroups. Y2-104-158 and Y2-102-158 were the most common taurine haplotypes detected mainly in northern and central China, whereas the indicine haplotype Y3-88-156 predominates in southern China. Haplotypes Y2-108-158, Y2-110-158, Y2-112-158 and Y3-92-156 were private to Chinese cattle. The population structure revealed by multidimensional scaling analysis differentiated Tibetan cattle from the other three groups of cattle. Analysis of molecular variance showed that the majority of the genetic variation was explained by the genetic differences among groups. Overall, our study indicates that Chinese cattle retain high paternal diversity (H = 0.607 AE 0.016) and probably much of the original lineages that derived from the domestication center in the Near East without strong admixture from commercial cattle carrying Y1 haplotypes.
