The goat (Capra hircus) was one of the first domesticated ungulates in Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. For investigating the evolutionary history and domestication process of this species, we studied its present genetic diversity and that of its wild progenitor, the bezoar (Capra aegagrus). Initially, the study of 2430 individuals from all over the old world allowed us to characterize the genetic diversity of domestic goats. This study included 946 new individuals from regions poorly studied until now, mainly the Fertile Crescent. The analysis concerned the HVI segment of the control region of the mtDNA. This large-scale study allowed to establish a clear nomenclature of the goat maternal haplogroups and also to assess the pert...
