Hi. Could someone with access to the source see if it is possible to be more precise where it says "bloodlines of taurine and zebu cattle were introduced only within the last few hundreds years" A "few hundred years" is very little in terms of spread across the present range of the sanga and also would be a period paralell to the involvement of Europeans in the exchnege of species into and from Africa.

Current genetic data do not support the hypothesis that cattle were independently domesticated in Africa. The references cited in this section are relatively old, and the consensus is now that cattle were domesticated in southwest Asia and brought to Africa (with later introgression with African aurochs). See https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/eva.12674, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/age.12974, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12915-021-01206-x, etc.
Would anyone else like to work on updating this section? I can revise over the next few months but would be happy to leave this to someone else. Ninafundisha ( talk) 16:00, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Sanga
does not support your position. Grigson contended that ancient African domestic cattle are so distinct from both taurine and indicine cattle that they could derive from a separate domestication of the northern African aurochs subspecies
In deed it supports the opposite.
