Abstract

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from 686 wild and domestic pig specimens place the origin of wild boar in island Southeast Asia (ISEA), where they dispersed across Eurasia. Previous morphological and genetic evidence suggested pig domestication took place in a limited number of locations (principally the Near East and Far East). In contrast, new genetic data reveal multiple centers of domestication across Eurasia and that European, rather than Near Eastern, wild boar are the principal source of modern European domestic pigs.

摘要

对686个野生和家养猪样本的线粒体DNA（mtDNA）序列分析表明，野猪起源于东南亚岛屿（ISEA），并从那里扩散到欧亚大陆。此前的形态学和遗传学证据表明，猪的驯化发生在有限的几个地点（主要是近东和远东）。相比之下，新的基因数据显示，欧亚大陆存在多个驯化中心，而且现代欧洲家猪的主要来源是欧洲野猪，而非近东野猪。
