Ross Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 62-21868 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY CHICAGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM PRESS I Shimon Angress March 14, 1924-March 30, 1958 Shimon Angress was a rare individual who had many abiHties 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 Ts'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- 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 Ts'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 7 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. Charles A. Reed 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. Paul S. Martin Chief Curator, Department of Anthropology February, 1962 CONTENTS I'AGE Introduction 13 Acknowledgments 15 Bibliography and Abstracts 17 Systematic Index Ill General Index 118 11 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. 11), 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 Akiid. 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, Pr^alpes 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 fi'om 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.

Ill, Heft 1, pp. 1-21, 4 pis. Detailed description of the skull, especially the horns, of a goat, found together with other Neolithic skeletal parts near Zloczow (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. 1920.

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-Hamitic 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. 1925. iJber den Schiidelbau des Rindes der Auvergne und dessen Stellung im Riitimeyer-Wilkensschen Einteilungssystem der Rinderrassen. Z. Tierz. ZuchtBioL, Bd. II, pp. 163-177, 2 figs. 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. 17 18 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 1926.

Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Ed. VIII, pp. 2-64. 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 vignei arkal. 1928. tJber neolithische Ziegen des ostlichen Mitteleuropas. Z. Tierz. Ziicht- Biol., Bd. XII, pp. 65-83, 1 table, 5 text figs. The skull-fragment of a goat, discovered in a Neolithic cemetery (end of third millennium B.C.) at Zlota near Sandomircz (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. 1932. tJber die Stellung der Ziege von Girgentini im zootechnischen Systeme und ihre angebliche Herkunft von Capra falconeri. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XXV, pp. 231-236, 5 figs. Investigation of shape and twisting of horns of the goats from Agrigento (Girgentini, Sicily), considered by Magliano in 1930 as a type of Capra falconeri. 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. 1933. Die Bedeutung der Abzeichen des Banteng (Bibos banteng Raffl.) und des Urus fiir das Abstammungsproblem des Hausrindes. Biol, gen., Bd. IX, pt. 2, no. 3, pp. 33-47, 3 figs. The author refutes the suggestion of a banteng ancestry for the European brachyceros cattle on the basis of similar color characters. 1936.

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.

Zucht- Biol., Bd. XXXVIII, pp. 113-129, 4 figs. The "goat-horned" type of the turbary sheep — previously regarded as a dis- tinct race — is considered as the female form of Oris aries palusiris 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). 1941. Ursprung und heutiges Vorkommen der Rasse der Girgentiziege und ihre Beziehungen zur Angoraziege. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XLVIII, pp. 1-6, 7 figs. 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. Adlerberg, G. P. 1933. [On the origin of the domestic pig.] (Russ., Eng. summ.) Transcript of 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. mediterrayieus 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. rittatus may have had a local influence on domestic breeds of the Indonesian islands, which, however, also show many characteristics of European breeds. Albright, William F. 1940. From the stone age to Christianity, xi 4-363 pp. The Johns Hopkins Press (Baltimore). 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.C.), though partial and sporadic domestication may go back several centuries earlier. 1950.

It is shown that the dromedary was well known in Egypt down to the begin- ning of the dynastic age, after which it disappeared. It is suggested that the animal 20 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 became domesticated during the late centuries of the second millennium B.C. in Arabia. Allen, Glover M. 1920. Dogs of the American aborigines. Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., Harvard University, vol. LXIH, no. 9, pp. 431-517, 12 pis. 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: («) 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 ititermedius 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. Amon, Rudolf 1938. Abstammung, Arten und Rassen der Wildschweine Eurasiens. Z. Tierz. ZuchtBiol., 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. Amschler, J. Wolfgang 1929a. Zur Revision der Abstammungsfrage der Hausziege. Ziichtungskunde, Bd. IV, pp. 466-469, 1 fig. Two primitive types of the domestic goat — a saber-horned and a twisted- horned form — are described from the Caucasus. Both appear to be geographical variations derived from the same wild ancestor, the bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus). 1929b. Gengeographische Studie am Hissarschaf. Ziichtungskunde, Bd.

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. ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 21 Like the Tadzhikians themselves, the Hissar sheep were isohited 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. 1931.

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-adrenaUn 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.

The carabao, kept as an animal of the household and for cult purposes by the mountain tribes of the Philippines, cannot be derived from the only indigenous bovid {Bo^< mindorensis). Looking for the cradle of the domestic carabao and discussing the date of its introduction to the islands, the author concludes that Austro-Asiatic invaders brought the tamed animal from the Asian continent. 1955.

Dyson, 1953), there has been a complete reversal of ethnological theory concerning origins of domestication. Former ideas of the antiquity and independence of horse and reindeer breeding by nomads of central and northern Eurasia must be abandoned in favor of the concept of primary domestication of goats, sheep, cattle, and pigs by the early farmers (or their immediate ancestors) of southwestern Asia. — C.A.R.

A survey of the domestic and semi-domestic fauna of Egypt at the time of the Old Kingdom as reflected by animal figurines, sculptures and paintings from the ancient monuments. Besides the domestication of sheep, mamber-goat and longhorned cattle, which are dealt with briefly, the author finds evidence in the animal representations for a taming of the Nubian wild goat {Ibex nubiana), the dorcas gazelle, the Beatrix antelope (Oryx), and the addax {Addax nasomaculata) during several dynasties. 1934.

Besides remains of wild horse, ass, and buffalo among the faunal assemblage from Kom Ombo, those of Bos primigenius and B. brachy- ceros were identified; both species were considered to belong to wild and indigenous ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 49 races. Most of the species represented in Toukh are regarded as probably domes- ticated: they inchided cattle, pig, dog, bufTalo, goat and sheep. Cattle remains were most frequent and belonged to the brachijceros type, the pig was of the turbary race (Sus scrofa aff. palustris), sheep were identified as Ovif! longipes palaeoaegijpticus (cf. Diirst and Gaillard, 1902), and among the goat remains two species were distinguished — the mamber goat (///rr».s- mombn'cHf<) and //. reversus. Galbreath, Edwin C, 1947.

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. /. inostranzewi. The author opposes the view that the larger gave rise to the smaller turbary form and suggests that the reverse may have been true. Gehl, Otto 1930. Postglaziale Haushunde aus Schleswig-Holstein — nebst einem Beitrag zur caniden Osteometrie. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBioL, Bd. VIII, pp. 225-288, 5 figs., 12 tables, 4 pis. 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. intermedins. 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. Gejvali, Nils G. 1937-38. The fauna of the different settlements of Troy.

From Troy I (early third millennium B.C.) the genera Bos, Sus, Ovis, Capra and Canis are recorded. In Troy II an increase in cattle breeding becomes evident.

Gerbes, Eduard 1951. IJber die Rinderreste aus den keltisch-romischen Niederlassungen der Engelhalbinsel bei Bern. Rev. suisse Zool., Tom. 58, no. 1, pp. 1-23. On the basis of a study of the cattle remains from a Celtic site (400-58 B.C.) on the Engel Peninsula near Bern the conclusion is reached that the stout bovid of this site also belongs to the brachycephalus race, as cattle of primi- genius type are lacking. Gromova, V. J. 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 brachijceros type were recorded as well. Haag, Wm. G. 1948. An osteometric analysis of some aboriginal dogs. Univ. Ky. Rep. Anthr., 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. Hahn, Eduard 1909. Die Entstehung der Pflugkultur. viii + 192 pp. Carl Winter (Heidel- berg). 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 in general. Herd animals (and eventually pastoralism) as well as horse-breeding and camel-breeding came out of this early seed-and-plough agriculture, practiced first in Mesopotamia. Haltenorth, Theodor 1953.

A systematic treatment, based on morphology, of the Old World wild cats. In the last chapter the origin of the domestic cat is dealt with. The only truly domesticated cat is Felis silvesiris libyca Forster of Egypt, which appears in a stage of domestication from the beginning of the Middle Empire (2000 B.C.). When it was introduced into Europe, it may have mated with European wild cats occasionally. Hancar, Franz 1951. Probleme und Ergebnisse der neuen russischen Urgeschichtsforschung. 33. Ber.

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 (cf. Gromova, 1927).

A compilation of ethnological, historical and zoological data forms the back- ground from which a picture of horse-breeding in Bactria and adjacent inner Asia is drawn. Such breeding reached a high level in the early first millennium B.C. Inner Asia is seen as the radiation center for all the mounted invaders that haunted Europe. Hatt, Gudmund 1919. Notes on reindeer nomadism. Mem. Amer. anthrop. Ass., vol. VI, pp. 75-133. A collection of references on the biology of the reindeer and on the history of reindeer nomadism, based largely on Scandinavian literature. The nature of rein- deer nomadism is seen as responsible for the slight degree of domestication in the 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.

USSR, Leningrad, 1932, pp. 313-373. A primitive, small breed of pig from Tschuwasia (Chuvash, former Gouv. Kazan) is investigated (46 skulls) and compared with wild and domestic pigs (fossil and recent) of other races. The Tschuwasian pig exhibits a close affinity to the Neolithic turbary pig {Sus scrofa palustns). 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. Hediger, H. 1938.

The author shows the transition from the wild via the tamed to the domestic stage and suggests the presence of a "psychical preadaptation" for the status of domestica- tion present in certain species and usually associated with a biological inferiority of those forms in their natural biocoenosis.

Gebriider Borntrager (Berlin). 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. Heinrich, E. 1936. Kleinfunde aus den archaischen Tempelschichten in Uruk. Ausgra- bungen der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft in Uruk-Warka, Bd.

Major emphasis is given to the domestic sheep in comparison to the wild form. Goat and cattle are mentioned briefly. Hermanns, Matthias 1949. Die Nomaden von Tibet, xvi-f-325 pp., 4 maps, 56 figs. Herold (Wien). 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 Hai, northwestern Tibet) and with the origin of cattle-breeding in general. The 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. 1952. Were animals first domesticated and bred in India? J. Bombay Br., R. Asiat. Soc, vol. XXVII, pp. 134-173. A survey of various domestic animals of India and their related wild forms: gayal, banteng, water bufTalo, yak, zebu, sheep, goat, camel, pig and kiang {Equus 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.).

Uber das bisher alteste primigene Hausrind Europas. Verhandl. Deutschen Zool. in Kiel, August, 1948, pp. 312-324. 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 (3000-1800 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 diff'erent 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. 1951.

A comparative study of lower jaws and teeth in wild and domestic animals. The author points to the great variability in size and form of teeth and in size and powerfulness of lower jaw bones, which characters cannot be associated per se with general size and skull-form of domesticated races or their wild ancestors. Effects of domestication are considered to be due to selection rather than to physiologi- cal factors. 1952. Studien liber die wilden und domestizierten Typlopoden Siidamerikas. Zool.

The first part (pp. 248-281) gives a review of earlier investigations of the Swiss lake-dwelling fauna; the second part contains a description of remains from wild and domestic animals found in the palisade dwellings (Neolithic) of Lake Wauwyl 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 aries studeri) is absent. Remains of the domestic turbary pig (Sits 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 (aurus brachyceros) only. The few fragments of equids are probably those of a wild horse.

A description of the faunal remains from Neolithic (Seematte) and Early Bronze Age (Baldegg") sites around Lake Baldegg in central Switzerland. Among the remains from Seematte those of cattle are the most frequent, followed by pig bones; there were fewer remains of .sheep, goats and dogs. In Baldegg (Canton Luzernj bones of cattle are still dominant, followed closely by sheep and goat. 56 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 Pig remains are rare. Two new arrivals, which appeared from the Late Bronze Age on — the horse and a new, larger race of dogs — are described in detail (see also Hescheler and Riiger, 1942). 1942.

Hescheler and Ruger, 1939) and Seematte (cf. Hescheler and Riiger, 1940). Five main forms — cattle, sheep, goat, pig and dogs — are described in de- 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. Hildebrand, Milton 1955. Skeletal differences between deer, sheep, and goats. Calif. Fish Game, vol. 41, pp. 327-346, 9 figs. This paper, useful to the anatomist working with bones from archaeological sites, is concerned with the post-cranial skeletons of domestic sheep and goats, 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. — C.A.R. Hilzheimer, Max 1908.

After a detailed morphological (esp. craniological) examination of North Afri- can races of jackals and a discussion of their classification, skulls of domestic dogs from sites of ancient Egypt are described, and conclusions are drawn as to the origin of the breeds. One of the jackals, Canis liipaster, is considered to be certainly the ancestor for certain Egyptian domestic dogs, two others probable progenitors for the other ancient breeds in Egypt. In four tables craniological data of wolves, jackals and domestic dogs are compared. 1909-10. Die Haustiere in Abstammung und Entwicklung. Naturwissen- schaftlicher Wegweiser, ser.

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.

(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 bufi'alo, 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 viguei 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. vittatns. 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, froiitosus and longifrons ( = hrachyceros) forms are products of domestication; the hornless domestic forms, appearing in various groups of bovids 58 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 (yak, buffalo, etc.), cannot be derived from a single hornless ancestor (e.g., Bos taurus akeratos, as supposed by Arenander). 1928. Die Umbildung der Schadelformen der HausLiere infolge der Domestika- tion. — Ein Beitrag zur Rassengeschichte der Haustiere. Z. Tierz. ZuchtBiol., Bd. XH, pp. 85-118, 24 figs. 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. 1932. Dogs. Antiquity, vol. 6, no. 23, pp. 411-419, 2 figs., 12 pis. A discussion of certain problems related to the history of the domestic dog. 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. 1933.

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. 1934. Eine altsumerische Fauna. Forsch.

The author deals briefly with the taming of the Asiatic half-ass (Equus hemi- onus) by Sumerians around 3000 B.C. and with the occurrence of the domestic ass in the early periods of Egyptian history; the origin and dispersal of the domestic horse are also examined. The habitats of the types under consideration — Przewalski's horse (Equus equiferus Pallas) and the tarpan (E. gmelini Antonius) — are traced throughout ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 59 the critical periods, and the author concludes that both recent groups of breeds, the Oriental as well as the Occidental, are derived from the Russian tarpan. 1936. Sheep. Anti(iuity, vol. 10, no. 38, pp. 195-206, 8 pis. 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 (Oci'-s orientaliH), the urial (O. vignei) and the argali (O. ommon); the latter is not considered to have been important for European breeds. 1941.

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- mestic 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).

The technical terms are, in part, of Indo-European origin. Hue, Edmund 190()a. Etude sur un nouveau chien des palafittes de Clairvaux. Bull. Soc. prehist. fran?., Tom. Ill, Ann. 1906, pp. 279-295, 1 pi. Description of a dog-skull from the NeoHthic lake dwelling at Clairvaux (Jura) and a comparison with other prehistoric canid skulls {Canisf. palustris, C.f. matris optimae, C.f. leineri, etc.). The new dog is craniologically distinct from all the other forms (high, convex forehead, broad jugals, slender palate) and is taken as a new type, called Cam's le mirei Hue. 1906b. Note sur une mandibule de canide des palafittes de Chalain. Bull. Soc. prehist. frang., Tom. Ill, Ann. 1906, pp. 441 453, 2 figs. Study of a mandible and teeth of a prehistoric domestic dog from the Neo- lithic dwelling places at Lake Chalain (Jura). Although few specific odontological characters are worked out, the dog is identified as belonging to the type of Cams familiaris palustris Rutim. Hummerlink, Paul 1928. Westindische Hundetypen. Naturforscher, Bd. IV, Nr. 11, pp. 550-552. Some data are given about two ancient dogs from the West Indies, not dealt with in most treatments. The extinct "alco," 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. Isserlin, B. S. J. 1950. On some possible early occurrences of the camel in Palestine. Palest. Expl. Quart., vol. 82, pp. 50-53. Several cases of skeletal finds (mainly teeth) belonging to camels, discovered at Palestine sites (Gezer, Megiddo, Taanek) from the Early and Middle Bronze Age, are listed and seen as possible evidence for the occurrence of the domestic animal by that time. Jackson, J. W. 1932. Prehistoric domestic animals. Proc. First Int. Congr. Prehist. Protohist. Sci., pp. 154-157. Oxford Univ. Press (London). 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 hrachyceros 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 Scandinavia — is suggested. 1937. The osteology: Report on the animal remains. In R. Mond & O. H. Myers, Cemeteries of Armant, vol. I, pp. 254-258. The Egypt Exploration Society, London. Bones of ox, sheep, and pig, from cultural levels of the Amratian period in the prehistoric cemeteries of Armant (near Luxor, Egypt) are assumed to be those of domestic animals. There is a useful summary of prior finds of animals (domestic and other) in prehistoric Egypt. — C.A.R. Jettmar, Karl >^ 1950. The Karasuk culture and its southeastern affinities. The Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm, Bull. no. 22, pp. 83-126, 16 pis. 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. 1952. Zu den Anfangen der Rentierzucht. Anthropos, Tom. 47, pp. 736-766. A review of the results of numerous Russian excavations, and a survey of re- cent views concerning the origin of the domestication of reindeer. All the data seem to prove that the taming of reindeer could never have influenced the domesti- cation of cattle, sheep or horses; the reverse could have been possible. An extensive bibliography, especially from the Russian language, is appended. Johansen, K. F. 1919. En Boplads fra den aldeste Stenalder i Svardborg Mose. Aarb^ger, Bd. IX, pp. 106-235. Among the numerous animal remains from an early Stone Age settlement in the moors of Svardborg (near Vordingborg, southwestern Zealand, Denmark), identified by H. Winge (pp. 127 134), there were bones of domestic dogs. Jones, ¥. Wood 1921. The status of the dingo. Trans, roy. Soc, S. Australia, vol. 45, pp. 254- 263. 62 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 A craniological (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. Josien, Therese 1955. La faune Chalcolithique des gisement Palestiniens de Bir Es-Safadi et Bir Abou Matar. Israel Expl. J., vol. 5, no. 4, pp. 246-256. 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-nomadic 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. Kacrkowski, B. 1928. Contribution to the studies of the origin of European sheep. Proc. roy. Soc. Edinburgh, vol. 48, part 1, no. 2, pp. 10-24. Serological (iso-agglutination) methods were used to determine the origin of the European sheep. Two main groups, A and 0, 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 moufion is probable. English Southdown sheep show no serological affinity to mouflons. Keller, Conrad 1902. Die Abstammung der altesten 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; (6) 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 occiden talis). 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- ccros type. For sheep a triphyletic origin is suggested, for goats and for horses a diphyletic descent; Frank's classification of the latter into Occidental and Oriental breeds is retained. The camel and the domestic cat are also treated. ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 63 A discussion of the species concept and nomenclature for domestic animals is appended. 1919. Die Stammesgeschichte unserer Haustiere. Natur u. Geisteswelt, No. 252; 117 pp., 29 figs. Teubner (Leipzig, Berlin). A popular discussion of general problems of domestication is followed by a treatment of specific animals and their phylogeny. Described are the "ancient domestic mammals" (dogs, equids, pigs, ruminants), the "more recent achieve- ments" (reindeer, rabbit) and finally the domestic birds. 1922. Die Methoden der Hauslierforschung. In Abderhalden, Emil, Hand- buch der biologischen Arbeitsmethoden, Abt. VII, part 1, pp. 77-90. Brief description of methods used to investigate the origins of domestic spe- cies. The author distinguishes the following methods: (a) zoogeographical; (6) ana- tomical; (r) prehistoric (by investigation of fossil material); (d) physiological (using fertile hybrids as criteria of close relationship and serological methods); (e) ethnographical; (/) archaeological; and {g) linguistic. Kelm, Ilans 1938. Die postembryonale Schadelentwicklung des Wild- und Berkshire Schweines. Z. ges. Anat. 1. Z. Anat. EntwGesch., Bd. 108, pp. 499-559, 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. 1939. Zur Systematik der Wildschweine. Z. Tierz. ZuchtBiol., Bd. XLIII, pp. 362-369, 4 figs. A survey of the wild pigs of Eurasia. The scrofa-vittatus group is seen as a single species, the allopatric races of which form a clear taxocline from Europe (Sus scrofa scrofa) to eastern Asia (Sus scrofa vittatus). Klatt, B. 1927. Entstehung der Haustiere. Handbuch der Vererbungswissenschaft, Bd. Ill, 107 pp., 15 figs. Gebriider Borntrager (Berlin). 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). 1948. Haustier und Mensch. 95 pp., 33 figs. Richard Hermes (Hamburg). A discussion of the evolutionary mechanism operating under domestication. 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. Koby, F. 1954. Y a-t-il eu, a Lascaux, "un bos longifrons"? Bull. Soc. prehist. fran?., vol. 51, nos. 9-10, pp. 434-441, 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. Koch, W. 1937. Das Gehorn der Schraubenziege — Capra falconeri. Zool. Anz., Bd. 93, Nr. 7-10, pp. 275-278, 2 figs. On the basis of differences in the shape of the horns, the markhor, Capra fal- coneri 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 domestic Capra hircus type (keel at front edge). Kolesnik, N. N. 1936. [The origin and the geographical distribution of cattle.] (Russ.; Eng. summ.) Akad. Nauk USSR, Leningrad, Ser. Biol., Nos. 2-3, pp. 375-414, 28 figs., 5 tables. A paleozoological survey of the evolution of the Bovinae in general and the genus Bos in diluvial and alluvial times in particular is followed by a study of ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 66 recent breeds of cattle, their geographical distribution, and their history. The author accepts the view that Boh priinig(')iiH.'< and B. brachifceros 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. Koppers, Wilhelm 1932. Konnten Jagervolker Tierziichter werden? Biol, gen., Bd. VIII, pp. 179- 186. In a brief discussion of the beginnings and motives of animal domestication the author holds that hunting tribes were the first breeders, that the first domestic animals were reindeer and horse, and that the cradle of domestication was the sub- arctic region of inner Asia; the motives were mainly practical and economic.

Anthropological observations on Indian zebus and buffalos. In conclusion J. U. Diirst sketches the zoological characters of both the forms and then dis- cusses their origin (pp. 661-666). The tame Indian water-buffalo (Bubalus in- dicus macroceros) is seen as the direct descendant of the wild arni buffalo (Bubalus arnii), 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 Zufilcar Pass, and gave rise to the zebu stock, the marked hump being a result of selection on religious bases. Kramer, Hermann 1900. Die Haustierfunde von Vindonissa. Rev. suisse Zool., Tom. VII, pp. 143-272, 19 figs. A history of domestic animals in Switzerland, outlined on the basis of the faunal remains from Vindonissa, which are described. The author compares the species of the Swiss lake-dwellings with the later forms introduced by the Romans, found in Vindonissa — large types of dogs, a new kind of sheep and big-horned goats. The discussion is based to a great extent also on representational art from early Roman times. Krieg, H. 1929. tJber siidamerikanische Haustiere. Zool. Gart., Heft 1, pp. 273-284.

A consideration of the dogs of the Indians from Gran Chaco, which live in a semi- 66 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 domesticated stage, leads to the conclusion that the desired properties of advanced breeding in the dog are deficiencies ("defect mutants") in terms of natural selection. Kroll, Hubert 1928. Die Haustiere der Bantu. Z. Ethn., Bd. 60, pp. 177-290, 6 maps. A detailed treatment of domestication, its role and significance, and the origin of domestic 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. Kronacher, C. 1928. Allgemeine Tierzucht. Abt. 1, xxvii+482 pp., 366 figs. (3rd ed.) Paul Parey (Berlin). The second section (pp. 59-478) is devoted to the origin of domestication and to the descent and the prehistoric and historic evolution of domestic animals. Chap. 2 and 3 consider general aspects of domestication in terms of its origins, and the morphological, physiological and psychological changes caused in the process of domestication. In chap. 4 (pp. 183-478) extensive material on the origin of the important domestic species and their early evolution is brought together, and recent views are summarized. Horse, ass, mule, cattle, sheep, goat, pig and rabbit are treated at length. Kruger, W. 1939. Unser Pferd und seine Vorfahren.

Rev. suisse Zool., Tom. 39, no. 18, pp. 531-768. A survey of the Swnss prehistoric fauna, based on a study of animal remains from ten sites: seven Neolithic, three Celtic-Roman, and one from the La-Tene ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 67 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. 1935. Die Fauna des Pfahlbaues Obermailen am Ziiricher See. Vjschr. naturf. Ges. Ziirich, Jhg. 80, pp. 241-330. Systematic study of new animal remains, excavated from Obermeilon (Lake Zurich) in 1933. This was the first site of lake-dwellings, the faunal remains of which were described by Rutimeyer as early as 1860-61. The faunal assemblage points to a late NeoHthic period. Cattle and pig con- stitute the bulk of the domestic stock. The former is represented by two forms — a brochyceroi:; and a pn'nugeniuti 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. Kuschel, Paul 1911. Die Haustiere Agyptens im Altertum.

Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XII, pp. 249-287, 14 figs. A detailed study of twenty skulls of the Lithuanian (Shmudic) horse breed, which is nearly extinct in its pure form. The skull of the Lithuanian horse shows it to be an autonomous, ancient branch of the Oriental group, which shows many affinities to Equus przewalskii and especially to the tarpan type and shows also some similarities to the Arabian horse. 1931. Studien iiber die Herkunft des osteuropaischen Pferdes, hauptsachlich auf Grund des baltischen Materials. Acta Comm. Univ. Tartuensis (Dor- patensis), Ser. A, Tom. XXI, pp. 1-138, 4 pis., 30 figs. 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.

VOLUME 54 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. Langton, N. and B. 1940. The cat in ancient Egypt. 89 pp., frontispiece, 19 pis. Cambridge University Press (London). Essentially a catalogue of the Langton Collection (cat figures from ancient Egypt), but additional comments and suggestions give a framework of the earliest culture of the cat. Felis chaus and F. ochreata are suggested as probable originals for two distinct types — one long-eared and sharp-nosed, the other short-eared and blunt-nosed — which can be distinguished among the images of domestic cats from ancient Egypt. Latcham, Ricardo 1924. Los animales domesticos de la America precolombiana. Publ. Mus. Etnol. Antr., Chile, Tom. IH, pp. 1-199. 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. Laufer, Berthold 1917. The reindeer and its domestication. Mem. Amer. Anthrop. Ass., vol. IV, pp. 91-147. 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. Lawrence, Barbara 1944. Bones from the Governador area. Columbia Stud. Archaeol., vol. II, no. 1, pp. 73-78. A description and craniological study of dog skulls and mandibles found among the mammal bones discovered at Governador, New Mexico. Most of the bones belonged to young individuals, suggesting that the animals were used as food. Three breeds of dogs are distinguished: Basket Maker, Techichi, and a short-nosed form.

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. ', . Lebel, L. D. 1939. Origin and quality of the Don-Danube goat.

Nine genera of mammals were identified: rabbit, pig, dog, 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 were most numerous, horse and ox bones next, deer and sheep bones next; rabbit was rare. — C.A.R. Linton, Ralph 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.

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 ocreaia of Africa and Syria. This species is today easily tamed, even when caught adult, whereas the European wildcat, F. sylvesfris, can never be tamed, even when hand-reared from a kitten. — C.A.R.

Identified among the domestic animals are dogs, cats, oxen, sheep, and goats. 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.

Finds of various types of sledges from prehistoric Finland (pre-Comb-Ceramic to post-Comb-Ceramic periods) are described in detail, and conclusions are drawn as to the introduction and taming of the draft-animals (dog and reindeer) asso- ciated with sledge driving. The earliest sledges from the pre-Comb-Ceramic sites (Heinola, Rantasalami) were probably drawn by man only; from the Comb- Ceramic culture on, a new type of sledge occurs (Saarigiirvi-Tarvala), together 72 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 with an increased frequency in the remains of dogs, three breeds of which are already known from this time.

[Eng. summ. pp. 241-251.] 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. Lydekker, R. 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 climatic conditions, modes of treatment and selection; "Oriental" and "Occidental" 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. 1912b.

Special attention is devoted to the history of the extermination of the aurochs of Europe and western Asia {Bos iaurus primigeniiis), taken as the principal ancestor of domestic cattle. Humped cattle — a distinct species, Boi< indicus — are regarded as a domesti- cated derivative from the wild banteng of southeastern Asia (cf. also Keller, 1902).

The specialized African breeds — the longipes type of ancient Egypt as well as the long-legged (0. a. longipes) and long-eared (O. a. catoiis) breeds of today — are considered to be of Asiatic origin.

The animal that appears most frequently is a form of cattle, show- ing the characters of both the primigeniiis and the namadicus type, which fact may indicate a crossing of the two in the Indus valley. Among the figurines and model animals (pp. 286-292), domestic dog (of a mastiff type), cattle, horse(?), sheep, goat and pig are identified. Madsen, A., et al. 1900.

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. 1947. Excavations at Brak and Chagar Bazar. Iraq, vol. 9, pp. 1-266, 86 pis., 18 figs. 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 Equm, and domestic dog, pig, goat, cattle, and probably sheep. The Equus 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 Chalcolithic to Early Bronze age. — C.A.R. Mangelsdorf, P. C. 1952. Evolution under domestication.

(Berlin). In the first part — a general consideration of the origins of domestication — it is assumed that the necessity for keeping animals as offerings for the gods had been the main motive for the taming of wild forms. This is followed by a brief account of archaeological evidences of dog, pig, and cattle from prehistoric Europe, and of cattle, sheep, goat, horse, ass and camel from the ancient Near East.

The East European domestic cattle are of primigenius type (although with great variability) and are supposed to have descended from Bos urns 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. 1928. Die neolithischen Haustiere Siidosteuropas. Z. Tierz. ZiichtBiol., Bd. XI, pp. 15-25.

Menj^hin, Oswald 1931. Weltgeschichte der Steinzeit. xvi-|-648pp. Anton Schroll& Co. (Wien). The author claims three independent civilizations, which gave rise to animal breeding at the threshold of the Neolithic. Widespread across southern Asia and southern Europe was a swine-breeding culture, associated with hoe-agriculture and lacking draft animals, the only do- mestic species besides the pig being the dog. Another civilization complex, rep- resented by the Anau culture, rose in western Turkestan, its domestic stock comprising cattle and sheep, the former derived from Bos namadicus, the latter 76 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 from Ovis vignei arkar. Later the goat was added. A third civilization is indicated by the domestication of riding animals — horse, ass and camel — its origin being sought in central Asia. 1933.

In a preliminary report on the excavations at the Neolithic settlement of Merimde-Benisalame (western Delta region of Egypt) a short account of the faunal finds is given (pp. 88, 89) and their significance in tracing early stock- farming in Egypt is emphasized. The faunal remains show close resemblance to those from Ma'adi (cf. Menghin and Amar, 1932), especially in the abundance of bones of the domestic pig. Pig, cattle, sheep, and goat(?) are also recorded. In spite of the great amount of skeletal material no trace of either equids or camels was detected. Menghin, Oswald, and Amar, M. 1932.

The bone material from the Ma'adian culture (ca. 3000 B.C.) in Lower Egypt is discussed briefly (p. 52). A considerable number of oxen, sheep, goats and pigs 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.

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. Mirov, N. T. 1945.

A consideration of the paleontological and archaeological evidence known at the dawn of the twentieth century on horses of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods in Europe.

The origin of strains in the domestic rabbit is studied on the basis of the genetics of skin and hair characters. The author lists twenty factors influencing color pattern and hair character, which rose by mutations during domestication, and which were fixed by breeding. The ancestor of the domestic rabbit is proved to be the wild rabbit of south- western Europe (Orydolagus cuniculus) which probably was first tamed by the Romans in Spain. 1936.

Investigating the origin of the Indo-European civilization, the author deals (pp. 64-117) with the sources of its domestic stock, mainly from the linguistic point of view. In some forms a local origin from southeastern Europe is conceiv- 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. Newberry, P. E. 1928. The pig and the cult-animal of Set. J. Egypt. Archaeol., vol.

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. Newbold, D. 1928. Rock-pictures and archaeology in the Libyan desert.

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.

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.

An investigation of north African domestic dogs and of jackals and wolves kept in captivity shows that the new environment causes rapid changes in the skull of the wild animals, resembling partly the craniological modifications typical for the domestic dog. Jackals and wolves are therefore regarded as the only ancestors of the domestic dog, with pariah dogs and dingos representing feral types. 1909. Haustiere der Altai-Kalmucken. Zool.

The identification of the Kalmuck cat with a domestic variety of the East Asian Felis microbis is followed by a discussion of the origin of the European do- mestic cat, the cradle of which is found in northern Africa. 1915a. iJber den mumifizierten Kopf eines Inkahundes aus dem Totenfelde von Ancon in Peru.

Patterson, Bryan 1937. Animal remains from Alishar Huyiik. Orient. Inst. Publ. (Univ. Chicago), no. 30, pp. 294-309, figs. 248-254. 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. /. inostranzewi respectively. Equid remains, of indeterminable type, were scarce. 82 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 Peet, T. Eric 1914. The Cemeteries of Abydos, Part IL— 1911-1912.

According to the identifications of Kathleen Haddon (pp. 6-7), the Amratian levels from Abydos (30 km. north of Luxor, Egypt) yielded bones of large oxen, sheep (tentatively identified as Ov^'.s polaeoaegypiiciiK, but these could have been goats), part of a goat {Hircus mambricus), and a part of the mandible of a dog similar to that of a pariah dog. No statement as to possible wild or domestic status of the animals is made. — C.A.R. Pequart, Marthe, et al. 1937. Teviec, station-necropole mesolithique du Morbihan. Arch. Inst. Paleont. hum., Mem.

Transcript of the conference on the origin of domestic animals, held at the Laboratory of Genetics, Acad. Sci. USSR, Leningrad, 1932, pp. 157- 185, 11 figs. 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. o. raddeanus and S. o. moupinensis); (3) the South- eastern Asiatic S. vittatus.

Otns orientalis is seen as ancestor of the turbary sheep; some domestic sheep are derived from O. ammon, 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. Pira, Adolf 1909.

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'. pahtslris) 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. 1926. On bone deposits in the cave "Stora Forvar" on the isle of Stora Karlso, Sweden. A contribution to the knowledge of prehistoric domestic animals. Acta ZooL, Bd. VII, pp. 123-217, 18 tables. A study of the skeletal fragments from a typical Stone Age kitchen midden, excavated in the cavern of Stora Forvar on the island of Stora Karlso off the south- 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, comprisiiig 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 Karlso — is taken to be derived from Capra aegagrus, while the Forvar sheep (much more frequent than goat) is con- sidered a derivative of the mouflon (Ovis niHsimon), 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 ferns. Pittard, Eugene, and Reverdin, L. 1921.

Five domestic species — cattle, dog, pig, sheep and goat — were present from the lowest levels, the frequency of the first three decreasing in the later strata. Horses were absent. While the majority of pig bones were those of young animals, the remains of the other forms proved to be mainly those of adults. Pohl, A. 1950-52. Das Kamel in Mesopotamien. Orientalia, vol.

ANGRESS AND REED: DOMESTIC MAMMALS 85 A systematic description of the animal remains from Harappa in the Indus valley, collected during the seasons from 1924-25 to 1980-31. 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 tenggeranas 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 Oris vignei (domestic us). The goats of Harappa were regarded as derived from Capra aegagrus and their probable cradle of domestication is sought within the Indus valley. Pycraft, F. Z. S. 1938.

Amratian graves from the prehistoric site of El Amrah (north of Luxor, Egypt) yielded several clay figurines of cattle (pp. 16-17, 41; pi. ix), some of which were mounted four abreast on a single base and one of which showed a remarkably large udder. These figurines lack the kind of evidence (halters, ropes, stall, mangers, fencing, etc.) that would indicate domestication, but it would appear that the people who made these rough grave-goods knew the models as household animals. Figurines of pigs were rare; remains of goats are mentioned. — C.A.R, Randhawa, M. S. 1946. Role of domesticated animals in Indian history. Sci. & Cult., Calcutta, vol. XII, no. 1, pp. 5 14, 4 figs. A popular account of the domestic stock of ancient India. The first domesti- 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. 86 FIELDIANA: ANTHROPOLOGY, VOLUME 54 Rathjens, Carl 1955. Die tierischen plastischen Darstellungen. Mitt. Mus. Volkerk. Hamb., vol. XXIV, pp. 114-139, figs. 181-188. 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. Reinhardt, Ludwig 1912. Kulturgeschichte der Nutztiere. In L.

Fonds Landbouw Export Bureau 1916-1918. 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. Hiuderi 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. 1935. Het varken. Zool. onderzoek d. Nederl. terpen. II. Wageningen. 58 pp., 93 figs. H. Veenman & Sons. 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 "S. 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.
