If you have a question about this talk, please contact Fiona Roby. Beginning with dogs over 15,000 years ago, the domestication of plants and animals has played a key role in the development of modern societies. Given its fundamental importance, a vast body of literature from a wide variety of academic disciplines has explored the origins of domestication. Ancient DNA in particular, obtained both modern and archaeological samples, have had a tremendous impact on our understanding of animal domestication, not only allowing us to retrace their geographic and temporal origin but also to understand fundamental evolutionary processes. Here I will present recent work from my group, on pigs, dogs and chickens that highlights how ancient DNA is revolutionising our understanding of their history.
