Hello - there is an interesting article on use of DNA to puzzle out
origins of common domesticate in this weeks' Economist (April 28-
May 4th) entitled "Domestication's Family Tree". Their science
writer concentrates on cattle, and work of C. Troy (Trinity College)
and D. MacHugh (UC Dublin) recently published in Nature, but
widens the discussion to include other taxa. I haven't read the
Nature article yet.
