TL;DR: Results suggest that dogs may have been domesticated independently in Eastern and Western Eurasia from distinct wolf populations, and East Eurasian dogs were then possibly transported to Europe with people, where they partially replaced European Paleolithic dogs.

TL;DR: Claims that the first domestic pigs in Romania possessed the same mtDNA signatures found in Neolithic pigs in west and central Anatolia are substantiated and a turnover in mitochondrial lineages found in domestic pigs is confirmed, possibly coincident with human migration into Anatolia and the Levant that occurred in later prehistory.

TL;DR: Analysis of mortality profiles based on age-at-death analysis of cattle tooth eruption, wear and replacement from 19 archaeological sites of the Linearbandkeramik (LBK) culture indicates that cattle husbandry was similar across time and space in the LBK culture with a degree of specialization for meat exploitation in some areas.

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions underlying the emergence and dynamics of the development of the first agropastoral societies in the Western Medi-terranean were explored, based on 45 new radiocarbon (14 C) dates and on a Bayesian statistical framework.

TL;DR: Bone and dentine collagen δ15N values show that the calves within the slaughtering peak were well-advanced in the weaning process, suggesting that the slaughter was delayed until the end of the cows’ lactation.
