However, other studies considered the 10% estimate for aurochs gene flow a gross overstimate and based on flawed data, and not supported by the data from the full nuclear genome of the wisent, and that the actual contribution from aurochs/cattle around 2.4-3.2%, which is suggested to have occurred in the last 70,000 years.

Eurasian aurochs: Bos primigenius primigenius: Europe and Western Asia Present in the Southern Levant until the Iron Age (1200-585 BCE), [62] and the Turkey-Syria border until the Late Middle Ages. [70] The Eurasian aurochs was domesticated in the Turkey-Syria border region in the ninth millennium BCE, originating the domestic breeds of taurine ...
Most, or all, of the relevant Aurochs characteristics, and therefore the underlying DNA, needed to "breed back" an aurochs-like cattle type can be found in B. p. taurus. Domestic cattle originated in the middle east, and there also has been introgression of European aurochs into domestic cattle in ancient times. [ 4 ]
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to “finish the job” against Iran with the support of US President Donald Trump.
The fossils displayed characteristics of ancient Pleistocene African Pelorovis fossils and of Eurasian Auroch fossils. [14] [15] [16] Because of these shared characteristics, [17] some researchers considered it to be a chronospecies proving the evolution of the African Pelorovis genus into the modern bos genus.
And the other, in the journal Nature, found that the samples contained minerals formed when brine - salty water - evaporated on Bennu's parent body, the type of wet environment where prebiotic ...
[69] [70] There are different active projects to breed aurochs-like cattle and release them in the wild as proxy for the aurochs. European water buffalo: Bubalus murrensis: Central, eastern, and southeastern Europe Most recent confirmed remains in Kolomna, Russia dated to 10811 BCE, during the Last Glacial Period. [71]
