Rabbits are commonly thought to have been domesticated in ∼AD600 by French monks. Using historical and archaeological records, and genetic methods, we demonstrate that this is a misconception and the general inability to date domestication stems from both methodological biases and the lack of appreciation of domestication as a continuum.
人们普遍认为,兔子是在公元 600 年左右由法国僧侣驯化的。利用历史和考古记录以及遗传方法,我们证明这是一种误解,普遍无法确定驯化时间的原因既有方法上的偏差,也有对驯化作为一个连续过程的认识不足。
